Zimi Supports Epic Solar-Powered Journey from Nairobi to Stellenbosch

March 19, 2025

Zimi was proud to be the charging partner for Roam Air's record-setting 6,000-kilometre journey from Nairobi to Stellenbosch, South Africa, powered by the "Melivan," a mobile PV power plant developed with Zimi's support as part of the LEAP-RE SolChargE Project. This modified solar unit provided consistent energy on the road, proving the potential for sustainable mobility even in remote areas.

A big thank you to Thinus Booysen, Menelaos Meli, the LEAP-RE SolChargE (aCar) Research Project, Sanedi.org, Stellenbosch University, and the Technical University of Munich for allowing us to be a part of this epic project.
