Electric cars or Electric Vehicles (EVs) are the future of automobiles. This is a reality that we cannot not run away from.

Sadly, Nigeria is still suffering from poor electricity power supply challenge. This is something most countries in the world have overcome decades back.

Various nations are now making deadlines to when they intend to phase out vehicles that are powered by carbon-based fuel.

Soon, vehicle manufacturers will terminate the production of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles.

It goes without saying, Nigeria had better shape up to this reality, or shipout.

Earlier, we posted an article “Why Are Nigerians Are Not Buying Electric Cars ?”

Interestingly, some respondents to that article – asides expressing concerns about our capacity to get enough electricity to power the cars, also believed that Electric Cars – being a new technology – would be way out of the reach of most Nigerians.

Well, this is not exactly true.

There are quite a number of EVs that are within the budget for cars of many Nigerians.

Autjosh.com has compiled a list of some Electric cars together with their cost (the cost quoted is exclusive of import duties) and driving range of some electric cars that are affordable for Nigerians.

Such cars are to be used occasionally. If God blesses me, I won't mind purchasing one. It won't be my first car though

I pity Nigeria in the next 25 years no country will buy fuel again
Since our government dont want to wake up and think about the future they are just going about with rubbish.

Another thing is that rich people benefiting from petrol/diesel sales would not want this electric cars in Nigeria because it's surely going to affect their business.
