Exciting, informative reporting and photojournalism again; definitely loved the staff interview piece as well.

I thought it was interesting that you said they weren't planning to compete on price but rather on adaptability and flexibility. I wonder whether there is a market in Africa for "made in Africa," even if it's comes at a slightly higher price. Like the idea that "made in America" products can command higher prices in the US, marketing to a niche that values homegrown. What do you think about that?

Awesome! I love this homegrown battery work so much!

As a side note, it was also fun to hear Zembo motorcycles come up, as my parents gave them a donation years ago to help them grow their business. It's so cool that they're still doing great work providing electrified transportation!
