Zolair’s Integrated Energy Solutions Plant in Idu, Abuja, represents a first-of-its-kind vertically integrated facility combining:

  • Modular e-tricycle assembly
  • Pilot-scale zinc-air fuel cell production
  • 50-75 MWh/year sodium-ion battery factory

Designed for Nigerian conditions, the products offer durability, affordability, and advanced battery management. The company’s Battery as a Service (BaaS) and battery swapping model reduces upfront costs by 40% while generating recurring revenue. Early projections forecast a 35.0% IRR and 4.2x equity multiple over five years, validated by partnerships with ride-hailing platforms like Bolt.

 

Strategic Partnership

Through the LaunchUp program, FasterCapital provides critical resources including strategic mentorship, technical guidance, and access to a global investor network. The collaboration supports phased funding of $21 million aligned with milestones, optimizing capital efficiency and reducing time-to-market.

 

Executive Perspectives

“Zolair’s Integrated Energy Solutions exemplifies the innovation and impact we seek in our LaunchUp portfolio,” stated Hesham Zreik, Founder & CEO of FasterCapital. “Their integrated approach addresses critical market gaps in Africa.”

Zolair CEO Kayode Babatunde added, “Partnering with FasterCapital validates our vision to transform Nigeria’s energy ecosystem. Their expertise will accelerate our production timeline and expand our reach, delivering affordable, clean energy solutions across Africa.”

 

Future Outlook

Over the next 6-8 months, Zolair will complete plant commissioning and ramp production, targeting initial market entry with e-tricycles and battery solutions. Plans include expanding production capacity, scaling the BaaS model, and exploring regional opportunities. Additional capital rounds are planned to support growth and R&D, with a long-term vision to lead Africa’s clean transportation and energy storage sectors.
