There is absolutely nothing wrong is marketing this Chinese EV

Almost everyone one is promoting one or the other,but you need not lie regarding the imaginary trip to Ibadan

Kara bridge hold up alone for evening go give you range anxiety

Abi you fly over Kara bridge?

If it was a grey colour then that was me, if not it was someone else

With his battery capacity of 53KWh , he is limited by the drive range of his vehicle which should be around 400km, he can only make it to Port Harcourt if he is sure of getting a fast charging point in Benin City(half way to PH) and he is ready to spare about 2 hours for the charging process in Benin.

azpekuliar:
Does this account for the hours he will spend in traffic at Mosogar town before Sapele junction?

omophunky:
lf I see that it has to be erroneous transfer, and I no wan go jail for wetin I know.

What if you run a 100kva generator powering your house and then plug in the car?

rapcy:
You can't be using that EV car and be using Grid to charge it. All you need to do is build a solar charge point and you're good to go.

emmaodet:
To buy and load 50kwh unit of electricity will cost up to 20k if I am not mistaken and that will take the car up to Benin from Lagos.
I think it is still cheaper than fueling to Benin

sacajawea:
50KwH units of Electricity is how much? normal normal

Everyday247:
your range would be limited by a radius of half your ev range around that charger. If you have an ev with a range of 300km, your range would be realistically be 150km around the charger.

rapcy:
Abeg brake it down, are you saying 300km realistically is 150km or are you referring to the solar limiting it to that 150km. I'm confused

Everyday247:
let's say you have an electric vehicle with 300km range. You then deside to travel to a location 300km away. When you reach there, your battery go be zero percent, right? How you go charge am away from your solar charger?
Or are you banking on your destination having band a power supply?

Realistically, you plan for GOING AND COMMING. So you divide your EV range by half to make a full round trip. So the longest distance with a guaranteed return from on an ev is it range divided by half.

Do you understand?

Everyday247:
does this type of generator even exist?

nedekid:
Ofcouse, you even have 2000kva generators.
I have 80,100 and 350kva gens.

rapcy:
Oh, okay, i get it now. In that case, they'll link up with who has a charge station in the state he's heading to nah

franchasng:
You said no import duty on EV cars? Okay, I laugh oh



Shipping a full electric car from China is already a challenge cos it requires special container and shipping alone will cost around $4500 to $5500. Add customs duty to it and you will know the op's price is not on the high side. What I dont know is the year of the Changan.



For your info, I have a 2026 model en route Nigeria and it cost around $35,000 buying alone.


So I am sure his is an older year model

Similar issue with CNG car owners; these are initial teething problems that would dissipate with time

You are making me wish I had one...
