The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has launched the first solar-powered electric vehicle charging station at Nairobi National Park to advance environmentally friendly mobility.

Speaking on Sunday in a statement, KWS stated that electric vehicles significantly benefit conservation areas since they make harmful carbon emissions.

KWS said that electric vehicles use renewable energy sources and help to reduce noise pollution.
