EV Charging Stations in Lesotho: What You Need to Know

Driving Toward a Cleaner Future

Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a distant dream they’re quickly becoming part of everyday life around the world. And now, thanks to Hirundo Energy’s clean infrastructure rollout, Lesotho is stepping into the future of mobility.

As we work to power the country with wind energy, we’re also building the systems that put that clean power to use starting with a growing network of EV charging stations. Here’s what you need to know.

What Are EV Charging Stations?

EV charging stations are the fuel stations of the future but instead of pumping petrol or diesel, they supply electricity to charge electric cars, bikes, and buses. These stations are safe, quiet, and efficient, allowing drivers to recharge in homes, towns, and along transport routes.

At Hirundo, we are deploying solar-powered charging stations to maximize sustainability. This means vehicles can charge using 100% renewable energy, reducing emissions and air pollution in cities and rural areas alike.

Where Are They Located?

Our first phase includes stations in:

• Maseru – for urban EV users and public transport trials

• Mohale’s Hoek – near our wind farm site for demonstration and rural accessibility

• Key transport corridors – to support cross-regional travel and commercial fleet adoption

We are also working with businesses, schools, and municipalities to expand access and promote adoption across sectors.

Why Do EVs Matter for Lesotho?

Lesotho currently imports most of its fuel and spends a significant portion of its GDP on energy. Electric vehicles offer a chance to:

• Reduce fuel import costs

• Cut carbon emissions and urban air pollution

• Create new green jobs in EV maintenance, battery recycling, and energy tech

• Connect renewable energy directly to real-world uses

And with more wind and solar power coming online, we’re ensuring that EVs in Lesotho are truly clean from the source.

Are EVs Practical in Lesotho?

Yes! EVs are ideal for Lesotho’s urban and semi-urban centers. They are:

• Cheaper to operate than petrol or diesel vehicles

• Easier to maintain (fewer moving parts, no oil changes)

• Quieter and cleaner

• Perfect for short- to medium-distance travel, which is common across much of the country

As battery prices fall and EV availability increases, we expect more individuals, businesses, and government departments to make the switch.

Our Role: Clean Power Meets Clean Mobility

Hirundo Energy’s vision doesn’t stop at electricity generation. We are building a full clean energy ecosystem, from the wind farms that supply the power to the EV infrastructure that puts it to work.

By installing charging stations, we’re helping Lesotho leapfrog into the future avoiding fossil fuel dependency and embracing the innovations that will define sustainable transport in Africa.
