JéGO isn’t your average startup. It’s a dream sparking into reality, fuelled by a relentless pursuit of innovation and a deep desire to revolutionize Africa’s energy landscape. This is JéGO’s story, a pioneering startup not just building electric vehicles, but crafting a sustainable future.

The spark that ignited JéGO wasn’t born in a sterile boardroom, but in a lifelong love affair with cars and technology.

Visionaries at JéGO saw beyond the thrill of the ride, envisioning colossal battery packs as lifelines, not just for electric vehicles, but for entire communities struggling with energy scarcity. This dream propelled them into the world of autonomous electric vehicles (EVs) – a world where JéGO’s creations wouldn’t just move people efficiently, but distribute energy and essential resources like a digital spine across Africa.

JéGO’s mission is clear: to harness the power of technology and create clean, sustainable energy solutions. Their focus lies in developing modular clean energy systems that can power homes, businesses, and electric vehicles. It’s a two-pronged attack, combating the current energy crisis while paving the way for a greener future.

Africa’s energy challenge is undeniable. Millions live in darkness, their potential dimmed by a lack of access to electricity. Fossil fuels, though abundant, hold Africa back from a sustainable future. Recognizing this, JéGO’s solutions align perfectly with a continent yearning for a brighter tomorrow.

A ray of hope cuts through the darkness: renewable energy is on the rise in Africa. Solar power, the fastest-growing source, is fuelled by falling costs and forward-thinking government initiatives. Here’s where JéGO steps in, perfectly positioned to bridge the energy gap and provide clean, reliable power to millions of Africans.

JéGO’s vision isn’t a solitary journey. Their strong partnership with Coscharis Technologies Limited exemplifies their commitment to making a difference. Together, they aim to distribute portable energy systems throughout Africa and underserved communities globally. Imagine the impact – thousands empowered with reliable energy, and a boost to the region’s electric vehicle market, a market ripe for JéGO’s innovative EVs.

Building JéGO wouldn’t have been possible without a remarkable team. Each member brings a unique skillset to the table; team members stem from Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Meta and public sector.

JéGO isn’t interested in prototypes gathering dust. They have sales, distribution partners, and leasing options in place, a testament to their ability to deliver and create real value.

But JéGO’s vision stretches far beyond the showroom floor. They’re leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to build smarter solutions. Imagine AI systems constantly monitoring energy consumption and production, optimizing the use of renewable resources for maximum efficiency and cost savings. This is the magic behind JéGO’s smart energy monitoring.

Self-driving cars are no longer science fiction. JéGO is developing autonomous EVs equipped with advanced AI algorithms, not just for safe and efficient self-driving capabilities, but to transform these vehicles into mobile energy distribution units – a game-changer for remote areas. And because scalability is key, AI aids in predicting energy demand, managing grid loads, and optimizing the deployment of JéGO’s clean energy systems. The result? A more resilient and adaptable energy infrastructure for Africa.

According to Oswald Osaretin Guobadia, a director at the organization, “the African market is poised for astronomical growth.  To enable this we must focus on the hard problems of which energy is. JéGO was founded to create an energy ecosystem that addresses mobility and home life”

JéGO understands that EVs alone aren’t the silver bullet. While e-bikes are a step in the right direction, they don’t address the larger issue. JéGO’s vision focuses on solving the energy crises with their large battery packs, usable for emergency power backup and other critical applications. This sets them apart from competitors solely focused on transportation. JéGO symbolizes energy on the go. Owning a JéGO PowerPod or electric vehicle means being a progressive individual who cannot afford downtime. It signifies an individual moving forward, being innovative, and building the future of Africa.  The J in JéGO represents the individual(Jé meaning I in french), it takes the community to build an individual, there are several Js in the J logo which symbolizes that it takes many individuals to build a true sustainable community.

JéGO is more than a startup; it’s a movement advocating for a sustainable future. As JéGO means “big step or progression” in Wolof a Senegalese language. Their passion, innovation, and strategic partnerships fuel their journey. They invite you to join them in transforming energy distribution and creating a brighter future for Africa, one illuminated by clean energy and opportunity.
