Electric Cars To Be Introduced Into Nigerian Market By 2018 by bgossipnaija(f): 12:57pm On Aug 25, 2017 |
Nigus Enfinity, an indigenous firm, says it will introduce electric vehicles into the Nigerian automobile market in 2018 and that its local assembly plant for electric vehicles will be ready in 2020. Malik Ado-Ibrahim, chairman of the company, made this known to journalists in an interactive session which held in Abuja on Thursday. Ado-Ibrahim said several countries across the world have set targets for the ban of petrol-fuelled vehicles with India targeting 2030, and the United Kingdom, 2040. He said Nigeria and Africa need to look inward to be at the fore of the automotive revolution or risk becoming waste bin for banned vehicles from other countries. Ado-Ibrahim, who was the first African to lead the Formula 1 Team global race car competition in 1999, said his firm is already building a 100 megawatts (mw) solar power plant in Katsina and another in Adamawa state. According to him, the company has also partnered with Build Your Dreams, a Chinese firm, to import electric vehicles at affordable costs from 2018. “We are also working with BYD to get a local brand and start an electric vehicle assembly plant for Nigeria from 2020. Gradually we will move to an EV with the African DNA starting in Nigeria,” he said. http://www.naijanewspapers.com.ng/2017/08/electric-cars-to-be-introduced-into.html [img]https://3.bp..com/-yW68CbLEEnk/WaAQa0bj-tI/AAAAAAAAFJE/kIumAbv9OWM-nmOg6OXfDP39ICesz_-GQCLcBGAs/s640/electric_cars_Energy_13.jpg[/img] 11 Likes 1 Share |

What about the charging points and location?. I heard there is only a specified place for the charging just like filling stations.Thos areas uses solar and private power sources.Because electric cars can't be charge at home.It will drain the power and destroy transformers.And there is a special terminal to connect it to a charging point which is not available for private use yet. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Some Nigerians are stupid! The forecaster is a fool! Electric car? I think we should get smart and know that the only reason while it's going to be introduced into nigeria is cuz it's for testing purpose, nigeria is a big market and to weaken the power of crude! And as monkeys that we and our leaders are, they will flood it into nigeria through one greedy Igbo man very soon! We can't even look towards achieving the important things like steady light or sth na electric car u want to bring? Forgetting the disadvantages as well! If I wher incharge, I'd ban it in nigeria! I never seen anything this annoying! We have people who could do better but not given opportunity due to rigorous and completed stsyems yet we vote people there only to see how stupid and useless they think! I spit on this! 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Good development, but that doesn't in any way reduces the marketability of fossil fuel because in the final analysis, the electricity for charging them is easily obtained from fuel. Dams for electric power generation are getting obsolete, facilities for converting solar energy to reasonable electricity are still very expensive. Additionally, tesla cars have some unbearable disadvantages as compared to internal combustion cars like long charging time, low power output, low distance etc. The only advantage I notice with them are high efficiency (induction motors), absence of carbon emission. 8 Likes |

To be honest, Nigeria haven't gotten to that level. We don't even have enough electricity for domestic and commercial uses and then you add electric cars to that? It's when you pack your electric car for two weeks due to power outage that you'll understand. Improve power supply first, and then this can be feasible. 3 Likes |

netoc65:anyone who can afford it has already known these highlighted problems, ...a friend shared this story with me : he says a lady visits their family 3 or 4 years ago and she saw people charging their power banks and she ask them - what is this? and they reply her - it was power bank and she asked again, wetin u dhey use am for? The second question dumbfounded everyone in the house not knowing that the lady came from UK, maybe she has never use or see it before .

Total nonsense. I own a elctric (hyrbrid cars MB E350e) and live in a european counrty that will phase out petrol cars in about 10 years and they are struggling to cope with the infrastructure, not to talk of a country where you dont have stable elctricity. You need it as that is where the main charging will be at home. What do you think, you will drive to charging stations, u, what about the rest ...........so go there and be waiting in line, then whats the point. We love to do things backwards. 15 Likes 1 Share |

loool.... A battery-reliant electric car can use more power than all your televisions, computers, air conditioning and swimming pool pumps in the home combined. What are the incentives for consumers? becuase considering the electricity prices in Nigeria couple with the load demand, there really is no cost-benefit to using this. The electric car may seem viable in countries who do not suffer frequent power outages or even load-shedding for that matter., but not in Nigeria. 6 Likes |
