PickApp was founded in 2023 by the Olurin family, Joseph Olurin, Joshua Olurin, and Rebecca Olurin — with a bold vision: to redefine transportation in Africa and lead the continent into a cleaner, greener future.
Driven by a passion for innovation, sustainability, and economic empowerment, we created PickApp to solve critical challenges in African mobility, while opening new opportunities for individuals, communities, and businesses.
PickApp is Africa’s first all-in-one electric mobility platform, offering car sharing, ride sharing, and online EV purchasing — all from one simple app. Whether you want to rent an electric car, start earning as a driver, or own your own EV with flexible payment plans, PickApp makes it possible — easily, affordably, and sustainably.
Our platform is built to directly support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — especially:
✅ Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
✅ Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
✅ Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
✅ Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
✅ Goal 13: Climate Action
By promoting electric vehicle usage, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and providing accessible green transportation options, PickApp will help significantly lower carbon emissions across African cities.
Every ride, every rental, and every EV sold through PickApp is a step toward cleaner air, healthier communities, and a more sustainable planet.
But we are not just about environmental impact, we are also creating jobs and building wealth. Through our ride-sharing services, we empower drivers to access electric vehicles with low barriers to entry, generating income while contributing to a greener economy. Through car sharing, we make EVs affordable and flexible for individuals who might not otherwise have access to personal transportation.
Through our online marketplace, we make it possible for anyone — anywhere in the world — to purchase an electric vehicle and have it delivered straight to their door, opening up clean energy mobility to a global audience.
At PickApp, we envision an Africa where cities are clean, vibrant, and future-ready — where transportation is not only convenient but also sustainable, affordable, and a driver of opportunity.
Our mission is clear:
To revolutionize mobility across Africa by making electric transportation easy, accessible, and profitable — while fighting climate change, empowering people, and advancing the global movement toward a greener, more sustainable future.
PickApp isn’t just a company.
It’s a movement.
Join us, and let’s drive Africa’s future together. 🌍⚡
