BusinessRe: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by bigbamo: 12:23pm On Sep 06, 2024
Omoapena:
1. On average full day work, driver covers 200km to 250km daily but some do above it tho..

2. They accept any kind of car, hybrid, EVs and Co. So far the brand model starts from 2000 and the AC is working...
Thank you for that information. I'd like to follow up with a few more questions to get a clearer picture:

1. Regarding the 200-250km daily coverage:
- Is this considered the average range, or is it closer to the maximum?
- Do many drivers consistently exceed this range?

2. I'm curious about how this compares to other driving services:
- Does anyone know if delivery company drivers cover similar daily distances?

3. Electric and hybrid vehicles:
- Are there any forum members using EVs or PHEVs for ride-hailing?
- Specifically, has anyone used a PHEV with at least an 18kWh battery (capable of covering over 30 miles or 48km on electric power alone)?
- If so, how has your experience been in terms of range and charging logistics?

Your insights would be incredibly valuable for me in understanding the current landscape of ride-hailing and delivery services, especially as we see more alternative fuel vehicles entering the market. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

P.S.: For context - My ?s might be quite prying but I just need it actually for building a case study to be presented to a Visionary Venture Philanthropy. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have a couple questions about ride-hailing driving:

1. On average, how many miles or kilometers do you drive per day when working for Uber, Bolt, InDrive, or similar services? I'm trying to get a sense of typical daily mileage for ride-hailing drivers.

2. Does anyone know if plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or fully electric vehicles are allowed to be used for ride-hailing services in Nigeria? I'm curious about the regulations around vehicle types there.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share.
Car TalkRe: What’s The Best Car For Uber/Bolt On A Low Budget? by bigbamo: 4:47am On Sep 22, 2022
starphilemon:
6years on the road as an Uber pilot.... The best car u can get with ur budget is Honda civic 2004/2005, not EOD or DC oh.... Another good car ur budget can get is Ford focus, just be sure to do thorough inspection before payment.... But if I'm the one buying personally, I'll buy a manual Peugeot 307, super great car with madt fuel efficiency, but u need high level of experience like mine to handle and enjoy a 307..... Abuja drivers know me as god of 307, my name is GentlePhil
please what are the things to consider in buying the Ford focus?

Car TalkRe: Expert Opinion Wanted: HONDA Accord Crosstour VS LEXUS Rx 350; Which Is Better?? by bigbamo: 5:15pm On Jan 14, 2022
speedfreak:
Just look for an i4, VCM is only on the v6 models, pre 2013 models with the 6 cyl are prone to vcm failing at higher mileage, it was fixed in the earth dreams engine that came in 2013. If you're buying 2010 to 2012 avoid the v6
I would be on the lookout for them here in Nigeria but they seem scarce
Car TalkRe: Expert Opinion Wanted: HONDA Accord Crosstour VS LEXUS Rx 350; Which Is Better?? by bigbamo: 5:15pm On Jan 14, 2022
speedfreak:
Its actually more performance especially ehen you're idling and at lower speeds. VCM basically shuts down 3 cylinders when you don't need the extra power, under hard acceleration it fires up the other 3 giving you better acceleration, turning it off means you always have all 6 cylinders firing but at the expense of fuel economy
Thanks for the breakdown

Nothing is wrong with the cross tour as long as your engine doesnt have VCM grin, when it goes gaga you will experience severe vibration and issues
heard it can be disabled

I dunno how true but will it affect the performance and speed?

crosstour doesn't stand a chance beside an RX, crosstour is just an accord wagon I mean the accord was butchered at the back and they just added a wagon to it shikena.

Now the vehicle that can give the RX severe pains and headache is the Acura ZDX. but to be honest with your review

Venza competes with Crosstour or ZDX

RX competes with Acura RDX or MDX depending on how big you wanna go.
You butcher Crosstour yet praise Element. Koyemi o

ClitRaider:
Oga, thanks for the mention.
I'm not selling again.

It was a joy to drive my Accord from Kogi to Ibadan yesterday.
I dusted all of em on the skeptic and notorious Kabba/Ekiti/and Osun express- Im loving my Honda.


Meanwhile, you will not get a Honda DC for 600k, maybe a not so good EOD will will worth 600k

Even the engine+gearbox alone is 400k so how will you get a full clean working Honda DC for 600k?!
In my opinion, My Honda DC is better than the overrated Corolla, but Corolla is priced at 1.5m.
Even if the DC is stolen vehicle, it's worth more than that believe me.

If you really want a clean car, you should be ready to pay the premium price.

You need to increase your budget to get a car that will give you peace of mind and not a 600k car pls.


Attached is a pic of the car at a quick stop in front of a famous highway buka before Ekiti yesterday.
It's an emergency situation I find myself in. All the things you mentioned are definitely what I know. Besides if I want ti get a premium car, I would for a foreign used one which Im saving towards to

I just got this 600k off a deal and ots expedient i attend to the emergency which requires a car.

You got a nice ride and it's a good thing you value it. Enjoy your ride chief. I will find one for sure. Thanks

Honestly, some 2006/7 Accord were brought brand new in Nigeria, and never the newer versions.
I remember Honda place NG making adverts on radio back in the days for the Accord EOD, that was where the word "End of Discussion started from" then later to "Discussion continue".
I bashed another guy claiming an accord 2008 was bought brand new in Naija perviously cos Honda never sold anything 2008 above in Nigeria.
I'm not supporting anybody here, just pointing out the fact.

You guys shouldav run a Vin check to confirm.


Meanwhile, I have one DC for sale too and it 800k pere.
peace.
Can it go for 600k and how clean is it? Can I see pictures?

ComputersRe: Inverter Users : Lets Have Your Experience by bigbamo: 12:25pm On Aug 05, 2021
Penuelseun:
Don't mix old and new batteries together, you need minimum of 4 batteries as you were earlier advised. Better you use 2 charge controllers if you want to use different solar capacities
Thank you, how about if one wants to use LiFePo4 Battery?

Firstly, forget the idea of buying Luminous Cruze 4kva.I am very sure for the price of the Luminous inverter you will get a decent 3.5/5kva Hybrid Inverter that has better charging capability and efficiency. Then ensure you use minimum 4 200ah batteries. If you can afford LiFePo4, better.Solar panels will have to be minimum 10pcs of 280 watts.

I leave the gurus to add and subtract as necessary!
How many LiFePo4 battery is needed to power 3KVa, I saw one Felicity 3KVa/24V LiFePo4 battery, and I am wondering if one still need to buy an inverter with this?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. My confusion is I need to replace the Charge Controller as soon as I can but I would prefer it to be embedded in the inverter. I saw the prices of Victron and Growatt 3KvA/24V inverter and I think I can afford that.

My dilemma is:

1. Can 1 more 230Ah/12V tall tubular battery be enough for my Load?

2. Is it advisable to use the 280W Solar Panels you proposed in conjunction with the 180W I have before? If so how many more do I need?

Thanks once more for your contribution
ComputersRe: Inverter Users : Lets Have Your Experience by bigbamo: 10:51am On Aug 04, 2021
I need clarity on something please.
I don't mind if you can help me with answers. I have a solar system of Genus 1KvA inverter, 1 230aH/12V Genus Tall Tubular Battery, 4 × 180W Solar Panels and a 60A PWM Solar Charge Controller
The Solar Charge Controller got burnt
That's another story though

Prior to it getting burnt, I inquired from the installer about upgrading the Solar System to accommodate a 1HP Air Condition (Inverter type) and a 250 Litres Deep Freezer

He then told me I would need to buy a 2KVA Inverter, 1 More Battery, 3 More Solar Panels (375W - I suggested that to him though) and I would have to buy another Charge Controller in addition to the one I had (which got burnt presently)

So now that the Charge Controller is burnt, I looked up Luminous Cruze 4KvA Inverter and I think I like it

How many Solar Panels can I use in addition to the ones I have?

Can't I use one charge controllers for everything?

How many batteries will I buy?

This vehicle and it’s counterpart, Toyota 4Runner, are largely underrated. People see them as old people’s cars.
I will be more interested in reliability for now.
I share sentiments with that too. But they are both reliable.

Cokahot:
Okay sir, but I hear ford parts are scare and engine very expensive. Dodge'what car is that huh
Dodge, yes I mean the Dodge Caliber (though it is an hatchback but it has quite a good ground clearance and a sturdy appearance) and for the Pontiac (I mean the Pontiac Torrent)

For the Ford, I know Escape to have parts available, Maybe cause my Godmother uses it (5 years and counting now); less issues so far and it is well maintained..

It depends on what you wanna use your vehicle for, long commutes, daily runarounds within the city etc. I'd have mentioned RAV4 but it is darn expensive and it's beyond the budget you gave. An Honda CRV will be great, but you can barely get toks for that price due to the dollar inflation. A Neatly Naija used will be awesome for that price.

If you are still bent on toks, then the Dodge Caliber and the Pontiac Torrent is good, I saw a Ford Escape on AMDMan thread for 1.7. Check his thread and ask him for both cars, also ask your automedic how good these cars are for further recommendations

Selah!
