We are in for a long thing, they removed subsidy yet it wasn't enough for them.
Anyways they have seen that Nigerians can buy fuel above 1k without complaints so they can sell it any amount they feel like.

So the last time I mentioned posting the demerits of using an EV for E hailing in Nigeria ..

Find it below it's lengthy though but am sharing my experience .
Re: If You Are Uber Partner In Lagos, Please Share Your Experience Here by BiggyUch007: 3:33pm On Jul 11
Demerits of EV for E hailing. In Nigeria

If you check Facebook Marketplace or Jiji right now, you will see a massive flood of "Clean Used 2024 Model" Chinese Electric Vehicles (EVs) being advertised at tempting prices.

Many fleet managers and independent drivers are eyeing them to escape high petrol costs.

But hold your handbrake! I am sharing this from direct experience as an EV driver in a fleet management company where over two dozen vehicles are currently grounded and completely offline

Before you drop your hard-earned millions, here is the short, bitter truth about running these cars for e-hailing in Nigeria.

1.The Facebook "2024 Used" Trap
These are not regular used cars. China is in a brutal automotive price war. To dump massive, unsold factory inventory overseas without breaking official brand rules, trading companies register brand-new 2024 models in China for just 1 day*to generate a "used car" title, immediately deregister them, and export them. To cut costs for these price wars, manufacturers are aggressively cutting corners on electronic components and wiring harnesses, leading to rapid failures under heavy commercial use.

2.The Steep Slope Handbrake Flaw (Safety Hazard)

Most of these EVs rely 100% on rear Electronic Parking Brakes (EPB) with zero mechanical backup(no physical "Park" gear pawl locking the wheels). When you drive all day, your brake discs get hot. If you park on a steep hill and pull the electronic brake, the metal discs cool down and shrink slightly over the next few minutes. The caliper loses its grip, and the car can roll backward straight into a ditch with the handbrake fully engaged! You literally have to wedge the tires with a heavy stone just to stay safe.

3.Low Ground Clearance vs. Speed Bumps

Most Chinese EV sedans are built for smooth Asian highways. When loaded with 3 e-hailing passengers, the ground clearance drops to a shockingly low 120mm to 135mm Because the massive lithium-ion battery pack is the entire floorboard of the car, hitting those mountain-like Nigerian speed bumps directly dents and punctures the battery casing, causing the computer to permanently lock down the car.

4.The Blind "Pool of Water" Trap & Flooding

Manufacturers claim these cars are waterproof, but that is for clean laboratory testing. For standard EV sedans, the safe wading depth is only 20 to 30 cm (about 8 to 12 inches)

The Deceptive Pools:*On Nigerian roads, you will constantly meet large, stagnant pools of water. Because the water is murky, drivers have absolutely no way of knowing the actual depth or what lies beneath.

Hidden Monsters: You might think you are driving through a shallow puddle, only to drop into a massive, hidden crater. Even worse, these pools wash up sharp debris, iron rods, and heavy stones. Driving over these invisible hazards at speed forces the debris directly into the bottom of the car, violently scraping or puncturing the battery pack before you even realize what happened. Once water pressure forces its way into the damaged casing or high-voltage components, the electronics are instantly roasted.

5.The Critical Blow: The Cost of a Replacement Battery

If the battery gets ruined by a flood, a hard underbody impact, or premature degradation, you are completely finished.

A replacement EV battery pack for these vehicles costs between $8,000 to $12,000 USD (which is roughly 12 Million to 18 Million Naira excluding heavy shipping costs and clearing from China).

* Replacing the battery costs almost as much as buying another car! Combined with zero local diagnostic software support and geofenced systems that Nigerian mechanics cannot scan, a single major fault means your capital is permanently grounded.

6.The Sandy Road Trap (Instant Sinking)

​We all know those unpaved, sandy streets inside some of our estates and suburbs.
​In a Regular Car: If you get stuck in loose sand, you can usually turn your steering wheel left and right, press the throttle hard, rock the car, and easily escape.

​In an EV: If you try that same trick, you are finished. EVs are incredibly heavy because of the battery pack, and electric motors deliver instant torque the millisecond you touch the pedal. Instead of moving forward, the tires will just spin like a high-speed blender, immediately digging deep holes and sinking the car into the ground. Once an EV sits on its belly in the sand, wiggling the steering won't save you. You will be forced to look for wood, heavy stones to jam under the tires, and pay people to manually push the car while you accelerate hard just to break free.

The Verdict:
EVs sound amazing for saving fuel, but for high-mileage Nigerian e-hailing, the infrastructure, parts supply chain, and roads are simply not ready. Don't gamble your money on a Facebook parallel import.
