20-Years old James Momodu Dao Samba is a Sierra Leonean innovator and a software engineering student who took just nine months to successfully build the first ever 100% electric vehicle in Sierra Leone.
In an interview with SwitSalone , Samba explained the full potential of his self-made electric car. He stated that the vehicle was inspired by his uncle who is handicapped knowing that his uncle''s condition is a recurring problem among other disabled, Samba became fully dedicated to finding a solution.
"This electric vehicle was inspired by my uncle who is disabled. His struggle for movement pushed me to my limits." James Samba, a 20-year-old innovator in Sierra Leone.
In late August this year, Samba disclosed his first locally-made 100% Electric Shuttle Minibus equipped with self-recharging capability, 10-seater, 100% disabled friendly, and fully designed and built in Sierra Leone.
Built from about 50% locally sourced materials, the Electric Shuttle mini-bus is powered by a self-installed solar panel or alternatively an external electric source. Samba confirmed that, with a post-test, the vehicle could cover a distance of up to 150 km (93.206 miles) when fully charged, and can additionally cover 100 km (62.137 miles) with direct solar-assisted power. He added that the Electric Shuttle Mini-bus could run up to a speed limit of 80 km/hrs, a limit set for safety purposes.
"The speed range is about 60-80 km/hrs, a limit set for safety proposed since I designed it for commercial use. The vehicle can cover 150 km when fully charged with an extra 100 km with solar support." James Samba.
Samba also guaranteed that the Electric Shuttle Minibus should be expected to be in full commercial use in the next two months after registration and other legal terms are met. In the midst of global fuel crises, Samba mentioned his ambition to create more electric vehicles in the coming years if he gets all the support needed.
Samba is a self-taught mechanical engineer, Innovator, Entrepreneur, and founder and CEO of Wanjama Innovatives, an innovation company founded to transform innovative ideas into reality. In 2021, he won the Southern Region Social Good Summit Price of NLE 10,000. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Samba also created an automated handwashing station, for safe contactless public handwashing. Earlier this year he also developed a solar-powered wheelchair for persons with disabilities.

Sierra Leone’s 20-year-old self-taught engineer, innovator, and student of the Limkokwing University James Samba has built Sierra Leone''s first-ever electric vehicle equipped with self-recharging capability made with 75% local materials in Sierra Leone.
Sierra Leonean entrepreneur James Samba has built the first-ever electric shuttle minibus with spaces for persons with disability (that can accommodate them while in their wheelchairs). During an interview with Salone Messenger, a public relation firm, James Samba stated "The Buss I have built operate without fuel or oil, can self-recharge itself, it also carry up to 10 passengers"
Salone Messenger reported that James Samba has worked on several projects including FM radio transmitter, auto-intensity street light, a non-fuel generator, remote control wheelchair, automated handwashing station, a sanitizer dispenser, solar backpack, and has solved many problems in the communities ranging from light security, electricity, climate change, coronavirus prevention, to name but a few.
James Samba has gone a step further to build the first ever electric shuttle minibus with spaces for persons with disability (that can accommodate them while in their wheelchairs from scratch in a push to promote clean energy, curb pollution, address and create a better option to the high prices of gasoline (relatively reflecting on high transportation costs/fares), the neglect of the physically challenged (in wheelchairs) in the public transportation sector
Africa’s top producer and exporter of crude oil have heavily-subsidized gasoline and a patchy supply of electricity — a combination that might discourage anyone from investing in electric vehicles.
But James Samba, a 20-year-old student, self-taught Engineer and chief Innovation Officer, and founder of Wanjama Innovative-s. and resident of Pujehun Town, in the southern provinces of Sierra Leone in Sierra Leone is undaunted. He says rising global oil prices and pollution make electric vehicles a worthwhile alternative in Sierra Leone.
At a friend''s workshop, he has already stripped combustion engines from 10 mini-buses, powering them with solar batteries. The buses, which have been operating for just over a month, cover a distance of 100 km on a single charge, he said.
