EVIUS Wants to Make Ride-Hailing the EV Dealership
EVIUS proposes bringing Chinese electric cars and motorcycles into African markets through ride-hailing fleets before building conventional dealer networks.
Why it surfaced
Its central move is unusually concrete: fleets generate revenue and let riders test the vehicles, while the resulting demand helps finance retail expansion. The site pitches a 10% platform fee, a 30–50% lower driver cost, and an ambitious route from 1,000-vehicle test fleets to mass-market distribution.
