It goes without saying, Electric Vehicles, or “EVs”, are the future of automobiles.

And as such the United Kingdom is planning to eliminate petrol and dissel-powered cars by the year 2040 and get them replaced by Electric Vehicles.

The government of the United Kingdom recently unveiled a proposal that requires new homes, street light posts and businesses to have charging points.

To demonstrate their seriousness, the government is planning to boost the plan with a £400 million ($530 million) fund for companies that produce and install EV chargers.

All these are part of a process by the government to reduce emissions by 80 percent compared to 1990 levels.

According to Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling, all these are a part of a big plan to eliminate gas-powered cars, but given that EVs currently can’t travel nearly as far, the nation will need to have a robust charging infrastructure in place well ahead of that. The aim is to have “one of the most comprehensive support packages for zero-emission vehicles in the world,”.

The current drawbacks to this plan is that, EVs can only go about 250 miles, maximum, less than half the distance of gas- or diesel-powered cars. On top of that, it can take hours to charge an EV, compared to just minutes to gas up a regular automobile.

Indeed, in no distant time, these drawbacks will be surmounted.

Can Nigeria current pathetic epileptic power supply challenges allow us to partake in this future?

UK to the future!

Watch as Nigeria will soon copy them without addressing the abysmal power generation.

But why are most African countries cursed with BAD leaders? (yes, including the ones you went to Ekiti to compaign for and the ones that sent 30000 policemen to same state for election, instead of states where herdsmen unleash terror).

Good leaders are not yet in Government or may not be given the chance.

Dullar-dinho is still making policies around oil

When the world has moved on

Very soon oil will be 12$ per barrel by then hausa fulani will want to share the cont3

The future is now and other countries are living in it already..

We here in Nigeria, we're still led by analog leadership of decades ago let alone talk about the future.. Pathetic!

Can Nigeria current pathetic epileptic power supply challenges allow us to partake in this future?

Op why the unnecessary insult this early morning na
Let us see power to charge our phones first before we begin reason other things.
Our government has set the lofty and white elephant plan of achieving 10k megawatts by 2020, let's run with the vision

That's where the government have the interest of the masses at heart

Good ideal but need serious review.

Hmmm! Some countries are thinking forward while some are thinking backward and still waiting for oil revenue to rise before they can make meaningful impact.

Nigeria government may be the last country to adopt this because;

1. No constant electricity
2. The one in government will want it installed in their house or state first before any other
3. If transformer can be stolen, is it this one that cannot be uprooted in one sweep!
4. Add your own

Pray you don't run out of power and need to recharge in a place like Akala in Mushin or Isale Eko.

You must surely recharge the pockets or street urchins and pay rent for using it he EV charger.
