Jaydenjohnson:


U should learn to think out side the box..... Nigeria economy is basically surviving on oil sold to way more advanced countries .... And now this countries re using tesla motors, Hydrogen powered cars and the rest how long do u think it would take before they would need our oil no more.... U go drink d crude oil...

Lol...if Nigeria was thinking outside the box, would the country be how it is now?

There's thinking outside the box & then there's thinking realistically. They go hand-in-hand sometimes. You should think realistically!

I'm a proponent of thinking outside the box, I'm very unconventional & unorthodox ....in real life & on here. Go through my posts & get an idea. But I will tell you without flinching, in Nigeria we don't like to think outside the box & so I repeat that I don't see how this will affect Nigeria much cos all the petrol-run car's will be shipped in here & Nigerians will continue living life without wanting to change anything. It's a cycle!

Bunch of jokers

Tell this to Trump. What you get when you allow Eggheads and Starwars fan to rule your tech sector.
Many of these guys live in the future rather than reality.

I doubt this claim though self driving cars are still in the growing...not enough to even take a 10% share of petrol vehicles in 8 years time......its just his ideology and he is selling it to the world..

I just don't believe it...

You're right. This will happen eventually but not in eight years' time.

spartan117:
When change hits him, he eye go red

see this my guy. U think say Buhari go still dy by then?

BentSpoon:











The liquid gas u are talking about is deposited in IMO state currently used in powering electricity







If u want to do something greater with that gas u will pay. Bride price under Mbaise constitution.

LOL YEYE.

No mind the guy. If he truly said all these then he must be one ideologically-driven joker

This line is what got me thinking the most
Cities will ban human drivers once the data confirms how dangerous they can be behind a wheel.

These are the kind of people that manufacture data to fit their ideology. We all see cars everyday. We know exactly how dangerous a man can be behind the wheel. So what is the data all about?

With the way hackers are operating nowadays I wouldn't drive an electric vehicle with anything remotely connected to internet. Before somebody control me enter inside lagoon.

I know fate of the furious exaggerates in its portrayal but that is not too far-fetched. Before you know they will be recalling cars cos its too vulnerable to hacking.

Na so Evans go just jejely hack your car drive you enter him mansion.

Make somebody come and go use hausa sign language interpret this to Buhari make we use daytime dey look for black goat.

My brother you are wrong, if you know the speed in which people are turning to electric car in the US you will not be saying this.

toprealman:
Did you read the electronic car part or was the article interpreted to you by Bobrisky?

I DON'T THINK AM D ONE CONFUSED.

While other countries have been planning ahead for the day oil will no longer become the primary source of energy, we continue to thieve and spend like this oil and its demands will be here forever.

It's only a matter of time before Nigeria goes bust.

Obascoetubi:
niger delta oil will be useless

This is all you want. What happens to in use cars? How many people will afford such automobiles? Oil can never be useless in this generation. This imaginations of electricity cars and gasoline replacement have been making news and history as well. Na today"

jantavanta:
Electric vehicles are heavily subsidized and only for the super rich.

for 10-15k dollars, you will get a decent tesla.

That will not buy gas gussling benz AMG or 2017 range rover sport or latest big daddy.

We are talking bout d Effect on d National economy u are talkn cars... Are we gonna drink d oil or are we gonna use the oil to mint money when nobody buys it and we ve too much of it... When u lack understanding of certain issues u take d back sit nd listen... Do u think if tesla motors have a charging stations in Lagos I would be wasting gas money on a venza ? Looks to me u that Nigerian dat don't think out side d box

abeg, leave that basic thinker.... he is running on Pentium 1.0. he has no idea what is going on globally, all he sees is what is happening in his front yard!

Because the cost of the car has been subsidized, by means of a Policy. How about the cost of the re-charging infrastructure? It requires a policy for a subsidy. Can a President who was a businessman advocate that?

Can people drive the car to their village?

honey001:
its Biafra that will be in Trouble ooooh....... Not Nigeria

The good thing is Biafra has huge natural gas reserve more than Nigeria.

Obascoetubi:

E pain you, shey na that same oil wey dey put food for your table go become useles ? enemy of progress.

mgbadike81:
we don't sell gas and instead we flare it away, besides i think world design for gas is also falling drastically because of technological advancements.

Oga we sell gas ...what u do u know

Ralphdan:


Really?
Go and research more.
These new once are to be cheaper than gasoline vehicles.

Also go and get the meaning of subsidised .

Car-recharging subsidy in place of petrol subsidy.

You better believe it.... Electric cars are already on the rise globally. China pays its citizens subsidy to go electric ; Australia, Germany, the Eu in general and California is a perfect example of hoe to make EVs a success.. With these trends it is only a matter of time before it comes knocking at your door step.

Benekruku:
Projection!

Gasoline cars won't go into extinction!

It still will past 50years from now! It's a media diversion to diverse oil producing countries.

Same was said for 2nd Generation in telecoms and it still has past 20years ahead.

Stay there and be consoling yourself, have you asked yourself why there is drop in demand for crude oil which is already affecting the countries mentioned in the article? check what is happening in venezuela for example..... wake up and stop living in delusion!


first picture is electric vehicle charging station in brazil (one of many) have it in mind that brazil is also an oil exporting country but they are already thinking forward and keying into the future.

second pic is one of many electric stations in canada

third pic is on of many in germany and across europe (the pic is from berlin)

fourth pic is from Maui (CHECK YOUR WORLD MAP AND SEE WHERE MAUI IS) a very tiny island off south america. It is a top tourism destination, hence they are keying into the future so as not to lose their tourism revenue.

even manufacturers are already porting to the new levels

that is a street light pole with vehicle charging port

.

The oil story on The Economist covers in a single chart

LOL, very soon all this our oyel mentality will soon die off.

Ppl falsely taking credit for producing the oil but in actuality doing nothing other than lazily sitting under the mango tree sipping Sapele water; while looking down on others and calling them parasites will they themselves soon become the next parasites, begging for unity much in the same way their next door noisy cousins are presently doing - karma is a b!tch, the greedy wicked trap catcher is going to be caught by his own trap.

Lol.....wishes are different from reality. You think if I could 'wish', Nigeria won't be a better country? Going by your wishes, it's freaking 2017 & yet a simple thing as us having steady electricity still feels like rocket science. Do you not provide light for yourself by buying fuel in your generator? Is that what you should be doing if things were working right in the country? NO! but you & millions of Nigerians are doing it & have taken it to be normal.
Do you have good health care services? Even if you have, millions of the population don't & everyone's living like it's normal...cos it has become normal & the earth has not fallen.
The Paris climate accord signed by several countries in 2015, serious countries have ways to regulate their carbon emissions & test vehicles for these emissions with a target year to have a target percentage achieved. Nigeria is a signatory (lip-service) to that accord & nothing serious is being done on ground & it's all normal & even YOU are living without a care of it cos the environment has made it normal.
Now, you're coming to tell me ' if I don't have an idea of what's being discussed' I should forget it.
20 years from now, if you're still in this country, I can guarantee you that you'd still be driving a petrol-run car & the heavens won't fall. You know why? The environment would see it as normal.
I repeat, be realistic!

A country like the U.S. for instance, even folks in their 20s have probably never seen a manual-transmission car talk less of driving it yet there are still manual-transmission vehicles all over Nigeria today in great numbers. You know why? Countries like U.S. discarded those cars & Nigerians embraced them. That's exactly how its going to be for a long time till we realize we're ' carrying' last.

So stop acting like in 8 years time, Nigeria will be shut down cos western & Asian countries will stop making petrol-run cars. It's a cycle we've seen over & over before & nothing will change until we change ourselves, our environment & our thinking. Till then, my friend....I've told you that the heavens will not fall in 8 years time cos Nigerians have built a 'cycle of norm'. Be realistic!

subsidised by who?


There are recharge stations all over america now.

Research, use google, watch youtube videos.

Nairaland/facebook or twitter are dumb places to spend all internet time you know?
