Innoson Vehicles unveils its first locally produced electric vehicle

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM) has unveiled its first locally produced electric vehicle.

In a post on Facebook, the company’s Head of Communications and Corporate Affairs, Cornel Osigwe stated the electric vehicle was manufactured at the company’s production plant in Nnewi, Anambra state.

He said, “I just test drove the first Innoson vehicle Electric vehicle produced in Nnewi. We are just starting.”

Mr. Osigwe revealed that this marks the company’s first-ever production of an electric vehicle (EV). However, details regarding the pricing of the Innoson EV, number of units produced and the timeline for its commercial release were not disclosed.

Electric vehicles are a crucial technology for decarbonizing road transport, a sector responsible for over 15% of global energy-related emissions, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

In recent years, the sale of electric vehicles has seen significant growth, driven by improved range, a wider variety of models, and enhanced performance. Passenger electric cars are becoming increasingly popular, with an estimated 18% of new cars sold in 2023 being electric.

However, in many developing and emerging countries, sales have lagged due to the typically higher purchase costs compared to conventional vehicles and a limited charging infrastructure. Despite this, the increase in petrol prices following the deregulation of the downstream sector of the petroleum industry might present an opportunity for investors in the EV space if the price of charging proves lower than refueling of petrol vehicles.

Nigeria’s EV history

In 2021, Nigeria introduced its first locally assembled electric vehicle, the Hyundai Kona, produced by Stallion Motors. This milestone followed the launch of a pilot program by the National Automotive Industry Design and Development Council (NADDC) in collaboration with the Stallion Group and other stakeholders, aiming to establish 100 solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations across the country.

The debut of the Hyundai Kona marked a significant step forward for Nigeria’s automotive industry, opening up new opportunities as the world shifts away from petrol-powered vehicles in response to climate change and efforts to reduce emissions.

Power challenges to EV deployment in Nigeria

Despite steps from Hyundai in EVs, Nigeria barely generates enough electricity for households and industries. The country only manages to generate around 5,000 Megawatts of electricity despite its energy demands reaching around 40 terawatts of power.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) reports that Nigeria currently faces one of the highest levels of energy poverty globally. Only 25% of rural populations have access to electricity, with most relying on biomass and waste as their primary energy source for cooking.

At the same time, Nigeria has one of the world’s highest electricity costs, averaging $0.52 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). According to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), Nigerians have had to rely on backup generators to meet a substantial 40% of their electricity needs.

5 days is nothing.
How many kilometers was covered should be the point.

That's how you identify an unserious company/reviewer.

The best way to test the strength (how long it can last before running down) of its battery is to use its mileage, not the number of days driven. The problem now is that most Nigerians cannot afford a brand new car...that's why we still buy tokunbo cars of over 15 years ago. Innoson needs to start setting up strategic locations where users can charge their EVs.

Acidosis:
That's how you identify an unserious company/reviewer.

Considering the way he's dressed, he is most likely a user, not the company.

COMRADES, this is commendable, I don't know why the government of APC doesn't want to give this man the necessary support

We should atleast encourage other people to buy, and drop their review.. Let's build our own... Every company have loopholes, in one way or the other

In other words Innoson electric car is Chosen

Difrent:
In other words Innoson electric car is Chosen

yes soo. It’s a great initiative to covert petroleum cars to electric cars 🚘 . It’s a big breakthrough

Impressive though, we have had our people building this kind of cars since, but this is an impressive development

Impressive. Next thing we need is a good charging network/infrastructure that can accommodate those that choose to do long road trips in their electric cars

The power of creative and innovative spirit. Glad that the land of the rising sun is championing the technology.

It should be able to go for months.

Igbo amaka

It's not by days, it's by the distance covered. Same way a full tank may not finish for a whole month if you don't drive a long distance...

But kudos to Innoson, Nigeria Amaka!

Thank.you oh. Distance is what's really important.
If you ate only driving couple of miles per day, I bet it might even last a whole month.
The distance is what really tells the efficiency of the battery.

e

They need to tell us exactly how that's possible ?

We need know things such as distance driven ?
Whether the journey ran into traffic jam and goSlow ?
Was the journey a straight one on high speed or regular speed ?

make we start from there

90% of nigerians can't afford it



He should go pitch it to aso rock mongers

Can you people patronise him

It's not about the number of days you've driven an electric car that matters but distance covered. It's a welcome development though

You can't see the ronu group that is shouting let's patronise our local products here. I haven't seen Reno omocry giving innoson a powerful review same he spends time to criticise obi. Can't you see some people's intension is very clear here.

Bdw KUDOS to INNOSON💪💪

Welhdone Innosen

You go dey drive with generator for booth haha 😂😂😂 EV nah scam ... Nigeria is not ready for electric vehicles

We are still in the stone ages ... If not for Genz, NIGERIANS will still be a forest where people live in trees.

Congratulations to innoson, they are making us proud and their cars are sweet to see. Regardless of how Nigerian factor dey affect the business.. I respect him ... He is a samurai!
