In Naija where we hardly have low or no power supply, a Tesla car was seen parked on the Lagos mainland bridge which was as a result of it running out of battery. I guess Lagos traffic could have been the primary reason of the battery running out �

longetivity:
But traffic has reduced drastically in Lagos nah

TempUser:
Old news. Nairaland has gone to the dogs. I saw this about a week ago! If it's too push snake posts to front page, na that then sabi.

MartinsD12:

There are power Banks inverter that could charge that car , with up to 300000mah and 240 power supply plug

Saturn444:
Lagos is the worst place to drive electric car. Traffic is crazy, I think Akwa Ibom, Abuja are great.

Jibwillz:
U carry Tesla come country wey nepa dey supply half current.

lexy2014:


i think light that they are supply akwa ibom and abuja is from dubai while the one they supply lagos is from kainji dam

Saturn444:


Akwa Ibom State has its own Ibom Power Plant, hence the noticeable range of electricity supply there.

Abuja is Federal Capital so one could accurately or erroneously say its Federal vested interests.

Lagos has power plants but the population of Lagos is just too much compared to habitable landmass so the congestion in traffic delays commute time and if you factor in the battery range in relation to time, then simple physics will show you that dissipation over time occurs irrespective of range hence its super ignorant to drive eVehicles in traffic prone cities not just Lagos.

siofra:
It's negligence on the driver's side. The battery of a Tesla lasts long per charge.

If he can afford a Tesla he can afford a capable electricity generating plant to charge the car. He should know he's in Nigeria.

InoGetJoy:

People don't realize that these people in power don't really have our affairs at hand. I and a friend of mine met with one of the close associates of the Imo State governor (Hope Uzodimma) so he'll help us get access to the governor to submit a proposal that would've greatly helped the security situation in the state. The man told us that, while our idea was great, he has to be honest with us and told us that if the government doesn't see an avenue to use the proposal to collect funds, they wont approve it.
I was disgusted. That was where everything ended

fuke:


If Lagos does not build an airport, it may be because
they do not need one for now.
The Anambra airport will be underutilized and
won't be profitable if you think about how much it costs to run an airport

The one in Ibadan, Oyo State which is three
time Anambra has a flight or two in a week.
You can argue though, that there will be traffic for Anambra Lagos

As for the sharing of profit, your guy did not tell you the whole truth.
It must be joint financing, and Lagos would be daft not to share in the profit.

In things like this there Lagos only has to send a person to understudy
for a month and buy the boats with people to maintain.

This is not a refinery brother.

Bmaster:
power banks inverter you call am,like if its not gonna be charged before using?
Or would you rather charge a 300000mah bank with generator?

Zoharariel:


Traffic or no traffic, Nigeria is not yet ready for electric vehicles, maybe by the year 2070 - when Oduduwa Republic would be competing with Austria & Japan.

MartinsD12:

The way they design the inverter it can charge under 3hours , yes for someone to buy such a car a big generator will charge the inverter then keep it at the boot of the car in case of emergency like this , that's it there it can charge telsa car , china technology has made everything easy there are even 5000000 capacity depending on the battery capacity of that Tesla car

FarahAideed:


Till you get trapped in 2 hour hold up it's is then you will know that 300kms is just 3 hours of charge ..this dude lives in Ikoyi because I always see him around there and I am sure he stays on a property with 24 hour electricity ...not his fault sometimes Lagos happens to us all..I remember I used to frown at people urinating on the road in traffic till I got stuck in traffic and had no single choice than do the same

descartes400:
Telsa should have two battery system, the telsa battery system and the other battery system with alternator to avoid situations like this...mehn thus my idea is worth billions of dollars oh

Le me look for their phone number self to discuss the business idea.

linearity:


Bros you well so?

Tesla vehicle batteries ranges from 50kw to 100kw, na him you wan you use 1000w inverted charge so?

Park well I beg, you for kuku advice make them dey carry solar panel for trunk, so wey battery run down, na just to spread panel and plug motor to get charge.

wonlasewonimi:
That car would not run out of battery in a traffic jam from a full charge. A car that was designed to be used for camping? The guy must have missed charging it or it developed a fault.

QuoteJustOnce:


You're smart. Exactly what somebody said before. A headline was just thrown and even without being there; everyone is swallowing it hook, line and sinker. Even those who don't know how Tiger batteries work; are now claiming PhD in tesla and battery matters.
Dumb ppl full here sha. How Nairaland has fallen

QuoteJustOnce:


You talk smart, but in reality not smarter than the seasoned engineers who put together electric vehicles.
Your idea is trash.

owagbeba:
Why can’t we have a stable power supply?

Why can’t we reform the laws allowing states to generate power under clean energy act?

Why can’t the central leadership coerce all these “no-good” state leadership to get up and starting working for their state rather than wait for handout from central? Most of the Emirates in UAE run their own power supply scheme. Some emirates like Ajman is not as big as Lagos, yet they have their power plants. See below photo3 Ajman’s power plant.

It’s 2021.... the science of power generation is quite rudimentary at these times. Not a big deal! It’s the same basic science of your tiger generator scaled up a thousand times.


Turkey runs an offshore power turbine (on ship) off the coast of Lebanon to supply power to this nation (Lebanon). Lagos can get one of this. Lagos can afford it. If they can’t, then rent the service. See below Turkey’s Karpowership.

China will be more than happy to build a power plant on each state in Nigeria on a long term repayment agreement; just the way we partnered with them on rail.

Sometimes we need brute force to make a change... the way Sanusi forced everyone to go cashless. Now POS operator is a popular employment scheme around Nigeria, though not good enough, better then staying unemployed.

But what we have is a bunch of clowns who are after their own interest. Their greed stinks! Most often they distract the people with non issues while they are neck deep in the coffers

It’s an APC government, an APC legislature... what are they waiting for?

PS: second photo is shell’s power supply scheme to Aba industrial zone. It’s a limited scheme.

lexy2014:



what has "Abuja is Federal Capital so one could accurately or erroneously say its Federal vested interests" got to do with what i said? this is completely off point.

which power plants are in lagos? kindly mention them. which power plants are in akwa ibom? how is electricity generated and distributed in nigeria? what is national grid?

so in the end, where is the electricity to charge a tesla in nigeria, whether u use it in lagos, akwa ibom or abuja? how is the light supplied to lagos diferent from the light that is supplied to abuja and akwa ibom that u mentioned?

Saturn444:


It's about range covered per single charge and not about power supply. But Ibom does have power plant its 110megwatts and owns shares in the distribution company PHEDC so they are stake holders and decidewhat goes to national grid.

It's not that Lagos roads are not good as those of Akwa Ibom and Abuja but the traffic situation in Lagos will make owners of electric cars develop hbp.

Emotional outburst is for ignorant people. Stop looking like one.

MartinsD12:

It's like you don't read at all I said there is higher capacity depending on the car model and battery capacity it's not about kw
