PickApp, an electric vehicle (EV) ownership and ride-sharing platform co-founded in 2023 by siblings Joseph, Joshua, and Rebecca Olurin, is set to launch its pilot program in Lomé, Togo. The platform offers services such as pay-as-you-go EV ownership, ride-sharing via an app, and strategically placed EV charging stations.
CEO Joseph Olurin describes the app as a “one-stop solution for electric mobility,” enabling users to locate, reserve, and pay for EV charging while supporting sustainable transportation. The company aims to introduce 1,000 electric vehicles by 2030 and expand to other key African cities, tackling environmental and socioeconomic challenges such as emissions reduction, air quality improvement, youth unemployment, and poverty alleviation.
PickApp’s initiative positions it as a leader in Africa’s EV revolution, combining environmental sustainability with impactful social development.
