So I'll be driving with generator in my car, I'll rather buy a second car.

Assuming there is a generator carrier, so what's the difference? Won't you still fuel the gen?

Yes, if the money is available.

HisMajesty1:
Let's face it, electric cars are not going to be a major reality in Nigeria any time soon... The transition will be S-L-O-W.

True

tillaman:
Gladly!!!
It’s a great innovation for the rich folks!!with that 3.4 million I can sell my car and add it to buy my dream bimma!!

Would you still spend 3.4 million naira to convert that your DREAM CAR into an electric car?

Nbote:

The generator could be solar powered.

Very soon there will be no money to pay the army, police, civil servants and politicians. Nigeria is entering a very big trouble.

betterpikinn:
That's very FOOLISH


Battery is not a reliable source of energy.


See all these solar inverters and even phone batteries, you can only enjoy them for some time when they are new.

man this comment of yours is painfully ignorant.

I know some of us in Nigeria are ready to embrace the electric car revolution despite the high cost of getting one and the unavailability of electric car charging stations across the country.

But what if you could just convert your petrol/diesel powered car into an electric car?

French startup Transition-One says it can do it for only $9,500 (₦3.4 million) — in fact, you can get a subsidy for a converted car that works out to around $5,600 if you are based in France.

Transition-One founder says:


The first prototype, a 2009 Renault Twingo that has an electric driving range of 180 kilometers, is fitted with electric motors and three packs of batteries on the front of the car and two on the site where the gas tank normally sits.

And complete conversion from a traditional fuel powered car to an electric vehicle takes less than a day. The original gearshift and gearbox are left untouched while the electrical socket is installed where the gas cap would originally have been.

The first models the startup want to explore includes Renault Twingo II, Fiat 500, Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo and Volkswagen Polo.

Would You Convert Your Petrol Powered Car Into An Electric One If The Company Comes To Nigeria?

Let us ask Ben Bruce, Mr electric car. How many car owners can afford that?

iHart:
In Europe, North America, Asia, yes. In Nigeria, a very big and capital NO. At least for now

Till when?

TRYGO:
If the cash is there, y not?! As long as I would still have my horse power intact, like you'd have on a Tesla model S.

It makes no sense bro!

Is inconsequential because not on this earth will you spend N3.4m for just buying of fuel.

Nbote:
What shall it profit me to convert my petrol car to electric car only for me to buy generator dat uses petrol to charge d electric car?

Thoughtful and funny.

EdiAbali:
Why not buy the electric car instead of converting

Cost, expensive because it will be brand new as against tokunbo that we're used to in Nigeria

GreenWhiteGreen:

Honestly I can’t, I really don’t like converting stuffs I would rather save up to buy me a new electric car instead of converting that’s if I feel compelled to own an electric whip! My guy once converted his Mazda from manual to automatic I tell you the car was not the same again, it’s always one problem or the other almost every 2 weeks

paix:
The generator could be solar powered.

So why not just get the solar powered car?

paix:
Till when?

you never get electricity to charge phone, na car you go get electricity to charge? Till then...

If it comes with powerbank, then I guess we can.

Why not ,so that I can be going everywhere with extension to find who on Gen abi.
