Plug in the heat,
own every street.
The name Arche comes from the Greek ἀρχή, meaning “first principle” or “origin.” It's a fitting name for a platform built to become the starting point for every EV journey in Kenya and East Africa.
The problem
Charging shouldn't be a guessing game.
Kenya's electric vehicle movement is growing fast, but finding a reliable place to charge remains one of the biggest daily frustrations for EV owners, commercial riders, and fleet operators. Existing global map apps weren't built with East Africa in mind, and individual charging networks only show their own stations — leaving drivers to guess, ask around, or simply hope for the best.
What Arche does
A map you can actually trust.
Arche is a mobile-first platform that helps you find, evaluate, and navigate to real, verified charging and battery-swap stations across Nairobi, with more cities coming soon. Rather than relying on a single data source, we combine multiple layers of verification so you spend less time searching and more time on the road.
Beyond simply locating a charger, Arche is building toward a complete charging experience:
Discover
Find charging stations near you, filtered by connector type, power rating, and network.
Trust
See clearly which stations have been verified, so you're not left guessing.
Pay
Handle charging sessions directly through the app using the mobile money tools you already use every day.
Grow with you
Whether you're an individual driver, a commercial rider, or managing a fleet, Arche is designed to scale with your needs.
