Abstract: This comprehensive baseline study evaluates Kenya?s EV battery landscape?covering lifecycle phases, safety risks, data limitations, and circular economy opportunities. It documents a 5x increase in EV registrations, outlines battery chemistry types, and benchmarks innovators like Enviroserve, Drivelectric, WEEE Centre, and Acele Africa. The report explores SOH monitoring challenges, regulatory gaps, infrastructure shortfalls, and informal repair practices. Policy mappings include 17 national regulations and references to global frameworks. Stakeholder analysis and risk mapping identify key interventions to build Kenya?s circular battery ecosystem and position the country as a regional hub. Future phases include degradation modeling and continental knowledge platform creation.
