what really killed the electric car then was the invention of the KICKSTARTER, yes the petrol engines were powerful but dangerous, especially when starting, because then, you will need a hand crank to start the engine, and you have to be very careful when using a hand crank, if not it will injure or kill you, it broke so many bones and even killed some. So because of this a lot of people still prefered the electric car, but at the arrival of the kickstarter, starting a gasoline engine became very much safer, quicker and simpler that even women could do it easily, just stay in the cab and turn the key. So that sounded the death knell of the electric car.

My dream first car is a Tesla Model S.

I really don't want to buy a petrol/diesel/hybrid car.

I don't think it's pennywise for an average Nigerian to procure an electric car. traffic jam, poor electricity, flood etc.
you can always charge it with power bank
