Fossil fuel close to the exit door. Nigeria needs to rethink its economic strategies. Over-reliance on oil will not do us good eventually.

They are telling us that one day our oil will be too useless.


BTW, how'd they succeed with Elon already on the ladder.

grammarnazi12:
Nigeria will definitely be left behind!

whr do u think we are bfr

Nice123:
Dangote is smarter than you bro. He would recover his investment in less than 5years.

the govt myt support him by restricting the importation of elecric cars into the country for as long as possible. After all, government officials have funds in the investments.
only the masses will bears the burns.

sapphiere:
Good! I heard their CEO is a FEMALE.

Lady, stop being a nitwit. Besides, Volvo's CEO a female?

Because a man broke your heart shouldn't instigate this misandric attitude.

I'm disappointed you're not as smart.

[quote author=Nice123 post=99567136]Dangote is smarter than you bro. He would recover his investment in less than 5years. [/quote

Dangote and his evil associates will not recover half of what they've spent unless they will punish me and you to do that

Good development by the time electric car is everywhere in Nigeria our leaders will swallow their fuel

Good to know....I hope they do

The future of oil looks very gloomy.

How many Volvos have you driven?

olaolulazio:
The ones wey no be electric cars wey dem produce still dey get electric fault.

Just saying ooo

A threat to countries that rely on oil

Cachetdotng:
Good to know....I hope they do

not good for Nigeria and other countries that depend on oil

sapphiere:
Good! I heard their CEO is a FEMALE.

Shut up your lying mouth,The CEO of Volvo is Martin Lundsstedt....Yeye dey smell.

Firstorderwizard:
I will be in Biafra then sha

Lol..Dream on brother,dream on!

StreetPreacher:
not good for Nigeria and other countries that depend on oil

the world has moved on...and is not waiting for anybody... Nigeria better advance or forget it

Mechanics losing it small small

where is Nigeria common nepa light be problem not talk of electric call, in Nigeria we are on the electric bill....ask senator or rep. for more information.abi I lie.

You heard wrong

Electric vehicles have a very long way to go. The United States as at 2020 have 286.9 million registered cars, As of 2020, cumulative sales of Electric Cars in the U.S. totaled 1.74 million.
It is estimated that the world has over 1 billion passenger cars on the road, of which we have less than 15million electric cars in the world today. Of cause, there is a daily increase in the sales of electric cars, however, it is so slow that it doesn't affect combustion engine cars. Certainly, it will take a very long time to completely displace combustion engines. Volvo is likely to gain or loss big time.

Publicly accessible electric vehicle[b] SLOW [/b]chargers by country as of 2019.
Netherlands = 8%
Norway = 1%
France = 5%
Germany = 3%
United Kingdom = 4%

Others = 12%

Also, so many people have not accepted Electric Cars even though it has been available since the 1880s. All the major car brands have combustion engine plans for their cars till infinite for now. Dangote made a smart decision.

If you think Dangote is dumb, you're a complete slowpoke. Dangote will not spend billions of dollars on investment without doing comprehensive economic and market research.

I am not saying Nigeria shouldn't join the party, however, before you bash your country, just know that so many deleoped and developing economies have not REALLY accepted EV.

Safest car!

Inventor of the seatbelt.


Well done!


Nigeria, which way?

Ok nice

Electric cars is the future Ice combustion engine is old it not even energy efficient it lost 60% of it energy as heats meaning if you buy 100litre fuel 60litre is wasted as heats and smokes in combustion wasting of monies

Electric car is 90% efficient you only lose 10% energy no pollution very reliable low to nearly zero maintenance just tires

Nigerians no get sense only loud and foolish

How many people still use old indicacent bulb or filament bulb of 500w that 20w led bulb can do better

By that time north go dey beg for separation . Make we kuku divorce now. This northern gold diggers.

Developed countries are going green

You dey hear dey type two years ago stuff

Shame!!!

Leave the analysis for those who understand.

Simplyleo:
Doesn't really make any difference for third world countries like Nigeria. No free lunch anywhere, even in heaven.

Its electric energy is still remotely from fossil fuel.

Yes, it uses bank of batteries, but how do you charge those batteries? And pls, no illiterate should start telling me the alternator will do that job. The bulk of the electric energy goes into propulsion and very little is left to charge which is grossly insignificant.

To charge the battery, you need electricity and how do you get electricity? Dams? A big joke. Solar? Another big joke. Wind? A bigger joke.

Countries with nuclear power stations are the only beneficiaries because electricity is almost free.

But for countries like Nigeria, no significant difference. Most of our power stations are gas or diesel driven.

You are partially right.

But the efficiency of most powerplant is still far higher than ICE (which is less than 40%). The 'rig to wheel' energy conversion efficiency of EV is higher. So even if the batteries are all powered by electricity generated by gas plants, it is still better.

Secondly, pollution generated by powerplant are concentrated at a place and can be easily treated. So less pollution in the city as most powerplants are not located in the city.

Goahead:
It will end in premium tears for dangote.

That guy has strategic thinkers working for him Bro, so he knows what he's doing. Natural gas, fertilizer and plastics are all derived from Petroleum. African countries would still be heavily dependent on oil and gas for another 30 to 50 years at least. Natural gas alone, could power Nigeria non-stop if we had the infrastructure. Remember, millions of Nigerians depend on liquefied propane gas for cooking at home. His refinery would also ship petrol, diesel etc. to buyers across Africa. Also, we do not know if he would be buying oil or be granted his own OML (oil bloc). Anyhow it plays out, Dangote's refinery would remain in business for at least another 100 years.
