My Chief I even forgot about the charging aspect ..since they are paying for the charging they would need to be making nothing less than 80k..

If a driver does not have a charging unit in his home then he needs to make about 85-90k because he needs to pay transport to pick up the car from the charging station in the morning ..pays transport back home when he closes for the day .

Anyone accepting such contract will have to attach an addendum well drafted by a lawyer so you don't fall into a trap where you as the driver bear all the risk.

Abuja has mostly good days but we do experience traffic (morning & Evening rush hour) and sometimes unpredictable flood in the city centre which quickly dissipates. However, it's no where close to Lagos.

If the cars were new, I won't mind keying into the deal but they aren't.

The company is responsible for maintenance during the contract period however the driver is responsible for pays for charging which cost 18-20k (full charge) or less daily depending on battery 🔋 level.

My concern is the fact that the vehicles are overpriced and drivers may be getting into a trap of the deal is predatory and transfers risk to driver. I asked to see the contract but was told that after I indicated interest and passed their interview before I will be giving a contract and 3 days to review it.

Omoh! I'll wait this one out and keep trying to find drivers who use this to hear from them.

U will find a detailed expose on EV for ehailing.
As for the daily amount, it is chicken change since it's the company that is charging the car for u. Normal cars use approx 30k fuel daily and will still deliver their rental or HP so 40k daily is very doable if u still want to venture despite the drawbacks .

Driving 12-14hrs to meet up 40K daily target is not going to end well. Even as a Private Petrol Engine car owner i make 40-50K daily after Apps commission & Fuel on 4-5 trips, imagine me remitting that and going home empty handed.

Long hours driving is bad for the car & driver. If you start it na to regret am later

I love the part you said

40K remittal is still achievable despite the drawback

This is why I always state

EXPERIENCE DRIVERS STILL GROSS OVER 80k < 10 TRIPS ...NEWBIES THAT ARE SMART TOO GROSS 80k

There are top drivers in our fleet that hit 80k after bolt expenses between 5-7 trips .

It's all Experience , Grace and favour .

I just did. Thanks.

A valid concern is that these car aren't new. These cars were made in 2019 and has been used before being shipped over here. We cannot guarantee the battery efficiency after heavy usage for 18months to repay this HP debt. Anyone accepting such will have to attach an addendum well drafted by a lawyer so you don't fall into a trap where you as the driver bear all the risk. I'll however like to hear from people who use these cars. Thanks for you valid input

Yes u have a good point.
The battery is d number 1 concern. My guess is that they are already inefficient that's why they are being sold off. But even if they are still good, the remaining good life left is less than 5yrs.
But if u really want to use electric vehicles, I will advise you go for a vehicle that has its fuel engine counterpart. So that body and suspension parts will be readily available.
Example is the Changan vehicles.

Definitely the Fleet will not agree to bear the responsibility of changing the battery if and when it collapses so no need building bridges in d air. Best is to avoid this kind of offer.
Even me I have a plug that can deliver 2020-2022 electric vehicles to Nigeria for about 10m, but haven done my due diligence, lack of spare parts will really affect the smooth running of the business so for now we are pursed on that.

they said it's the driver that is paying for charging it's A crazy deal if you ask me cnging a car up is way better because a full days work is just like 10k fuel on cng as against the 20k for charging

The driver paying for charging around 15k daily and still drops 40k daily on rent is madness.

No, I thought he will not have to pay for charging and fuel.
So it's just like paying that ur fuel money like HP payments. U still go home with 30-40k .
But if he has to still pay for charging then it's a NO NO

With CNG we are covered.

even though🤨

Good morning everyone
Please how can I resolve this?
Is there a customer care number I can call?
Have been chatting but no possible solution from bolt.

Go to their office this morning or whenever you're free to do so

How many km can a 10k worth of CNG cover in corolla?

300 plus

Kaymaxi2222:

Wow
I do 50km distance work for 20k on indrive.
With this, it means one can gross 100k at least with 10k CNG.

Hello guys please I have a question.
With a N5m budget, is it realistic to find a good corollar for bolt/taxify? I’m based in Benin looking to get into the ride sharing business. I’ll also appreciate and tips or advice thank you.

my advice get a matrix instead

Also this is only possible if u buy where there is high pressure.

Kaymaxi2222:

These pressure u guys are always hammering on, is overrated.
If there is no high pressure, it just means ur cylinder with less amount because less gas was able to get in, n u pay less for a full tank. But if pressure is high, then more gas can be fitted into d tank so u get to buy more gas.
It's not like u are paying for more pressure or less pressure

is this minus pickup distance? or typo? Because 50km for 17 liters seem poor

Exactly.
Very poor.[.
That's like going to ozone cinemas from chevron and back...

You are absolutely correct but sometimes if u have a big cylinder like 100L and u buy from a low pressure station it squeezes some gas that is unreliable in a sense (being of note that the difference in price for same scm in high pressure station is not up to 1k) cause as u r driving out of d station and before reaching sometimes 5km a bar had reduced unlike if u bought at that maybe 1k extra which is not even up to and u can drive as much as 25km on that bar

Generally is best to buy for high pressure saves u time and money

Do you understand my comment at all?

I said I do a 50km distance work for 20k.

Ooh that is what you meant?
Now I get..
Even at that, you mean you go to ozone from let's say chevron drive and back for 20k?
Isn't that even more ridiculous?

I don't do it that way, it has to be single trip..
From berger to chevron or ikota.

But to be candid, how much km should an average uber car be doing with 20k fuel for within city rides?? I'm curious

Okay.
I'm just worried about profit , not that I'm trying to fault your work pattern.

I think a single trip isn't bad.
