It’s time Nigerians begin to patronize the electric car market because the market is expanding so fast that soon people will no longer be able to ignore this new technology. Although Nigerians are gradually begin to embrace the hybrid cars, electric car is the car for the future and please don’t say Nigeria’s epileptic power supply will make the car useless, truth is these cars come with fast charge and depending on the battery size can give you full charge in 5 hours or less. With Tesla leading the way, other car manufacturers have joined the race for production of electric cars and the good news is, they are becoming more affordable and even cheaper than some of the petrol cars we see on the roads everyday. In case you’re planning to get one but confused on which one to go for, we’re here to help you make the best decision based on your budget but if for one reason or the other you are still not ready for an all-electric car, we highly recommend considering a hybrid car which runs on fuel and electric engine.
