adudu208: I’m not trying to discourage you or anything like that. EV cars are great and in fact the future of automobiles. But the Nigerian society is not ready for such technology now. There is normal wear and tear associated with car usage, not just a matter of charging battery. Take a look around for half-EV cars (aka hybrids). How many hybrid cars last in Nigeria? Once the technicians start touching it for one issue or another, that’s the beginning of the end. How many used hybrid cars hold value in terms of re-sale in Nigeria? Very few. If that is the case with hybrids (half-EV), how much more a full EV car. But like I said, it’s a matter of choice and affordability. If you like it and don’t mind its maintenance costs, then by all means go ahead. You will no doubt enjoy it when it’s working fine. When i’m very rich too, I will definitely love to buy EV cars. |

Battery is the problem. 24kwh battery goes for about 1'million naira. Very soon Nigerian middlemen will start bringing in substandard batteries from Taiwan and Indonesia. Mediocre techicians will key in. In summary maintenance is going to be a major issue. Nice though. 3 Likes |

MobilityExpress: You have some very good valid points. However, there are certain things missed out. You do not need a Lube shop any longer as you don't need to replace engine Oil. Maintenence cost is much cheaper than the gas engine and despite the fact we have power issues in nigeria, it still makes sense. Lemme make some highlights 1. Cost savings on Oil Change 2. Cost savings on brake pads as they use regenerative pads that can last over 500,000 miles 3. Cost savings on fuel. You can install a solar panel and charge for FREE. 4. No fuel pump service/replacement, No Plugs or Nozzle Service. If you look at all thessential and compare notes, you would see that maintenance is lower compared to a gas/diesel engine. 1 Like |

This is also a clarion call to all mechanics to start upgrading and learn about electric car the sooner the better for them. If not car tech go leave them behind 1 Like |

joinnow: Just like in every fields/profession. Be it accounting, IT, Politics, Pastor information, innovation is the order of the day and you need to upgrade your skills daily. Picture shows a practical learning process going on on EV Vehicles. This is a typical EV engine.

This is a typical inspection machine that is needed to trace faults on EV Vehicles. Smaller and half held devices would be made soon for ease of repairs.

eGarage: OK but very very few and the price will be cut throat price. Might be like BMW and sharis. BMW break down it(car) will alert cos. Then you pay 500k before it will be towed to haris garage and after fixing you top up you balance up. I know want to call full name but hopefully you should know them 2 Likes |

Futureberry: Is it sinful to use it for 51 years if I can and if it will stay? This car won't even last 2years here with our road and conditions of maintenance at the moment. In the days of J Allens, UTC and SCOA Motors and other vehicle sale/maintenance companies, it would have been ok. What we have now are thiefing mediocre road side charlatans. The more you take your cars to them, the more the break it down - for a fee. |
