Tank U Mr. Physicist, so what you are saying is energy isnt dissipated while in traffic, what keeps the AC etc running

Using AC in an EV will slightly affect your range. My point is if you already calculated to reach Ikeja under normal speed with X amount of battery power with your AC on, if you get stuck in serious traffic, you should still get to your planned destination (Ikeja) with more range left than you expected initially without traffic.

So what if it gets trapped in typical Lagos traffic

So far you don't use AC, no problem. The battery will not die.
Whist petrol cars will be burning fuel idling their engines, this one will just be off.
BUT if you use AC, untop shakara, the battery will run down slowly, die and leave you there depending on how long the traffic will last

Can you charge it in any location you reach? Abi you must come back to your house to use special cable and charger?

WARNING:

To our money crazy politicians and co, know that these electric cars are not meant to be used in Nigeria. Because you still need to buy fuel to power your generators before you can recharge these cars. So just save the stress and refuel your car directly.

You can charge your car any time there's light and even if you use generator, you can charge 3 to 4 of this cars once and also power your house too if the gen watts is huge... Meanwhile a day or 2 hardly pass without light coming. One charge can take you around until the next light and subsequent recharge.

Actually, no. Informed money crazy politicians will know to invest in Solar Electricity Systems (SES) with Battery Backups for their homes, offices, farms, and other places, since we have sunlight in abundance most of the time. They can thus use their their SES to charge their electric vehicles at any of their places at any time, with reckless abandon.

Unfortunately, though, most of our folks in 9ja with money of any sort, happen to fall in this "Money Miss Road" category. wink

Hmm.

You dont need generators to recharge these cars

A solar installation will charge your electric car just as it will supply energy for the rest of your home appliances.

Even a small solar panel array can provide enough power to charge your vehicle's battery. (picture below)

Electric Vehicles charged with solar panels.

This is a No Capital Cost Solar charging system.

You should be able to get up to 20km range per hour of charge with Naija electricity I suppose.

EVs use less energy when not moving fast so range will increase when moving slowly in stop and go traffic since the electric motor is taking almost no energy. So if you had just enough range to get to your destination at normal speed and somehow wind up getting stuck in traffic, you will defnitely get to your destination with excess charge left
