It is recognised that current transport system based on petrol/diesel (ICE) motor vehicles is becoming unaffordable and unsustainable, and electric vehicles will be one of the means to address the problem providing the electricity supply is from renewable power sources and affordable.Sub-Saharan-Africa is one of the regions underdeveloped and experiencing rapid growth in population and economic activities. In terms of modern transport system, it is still a "blank canvass" and the right time to think differently to the developed world and design a public transport system which suits the local society and is sustainable and affordable.It is about overcoming the problems of poor public infrastructure to help people in Africa benefit from low cost and low carbon transport system -- focusing on an innovative and less costly battery swapping/charging model, that can take advantage of Africa's rapidly expanding, renewable solar PV power generation.As such, the project aims to assess the feasibility of the design of a smart community electric vehicle charging hub to facilitate light electric vehicles such as motorbikes, tuk-tuks and small mini-buses in Kampala, Uganda to demonstrate a feasible solution for the country to provide an affordable, clean and sustainable transport system for all.

人们认识到，目前基于汽油/柴油（ICE）机动车辆的交通系统正变得负担不起和不可持续，而电动汽车将是解决这一问题的手段之一，前提是电力供应来自可再生能源并且负担得起。撒哈拉以南非洲是欠发达地区之一，人口和经济活动正在快速增长。在现代交通系统方面，这仍然是一个“空白画布”，也是一个与发达国家不同的思考和设计适合当地社会、可持续和负担得起的公共交通系统的正确时机。这是关于克服公共基础设施薄弱的问题，帮助非洲人民从低成本和低碳交通系统中受益-重点是创新和成本更低的电池更换。因此，该项目旨在评估乌干达坎帕拉智能社区电动汽车充电中心设计的可行性，以方便轻型电动汽车，如摩托车，嘟嘟车和小型小巴，以展示该国提供负担得起的，为所有人提供清洁和可持续的交通系统。
