Governor Sanwo-Olu Unveils First Electric Car In Nigeria (Photos, Video) by FutureDecisions(op): 5:10pm On Nov 13, 2020

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has unveiled Nigeria’s first locally-assembled full electric car manufactured by Stallion Group, Igbere TV reports.

The Hyundai Kona car comes with zero emission, 482km driving range, and can be charged both at home and workplace.

“With an innovation of Hyundai Kona, we do not need to put the pressure on what is the pump price of oil again, what is the pump price of petroleum again,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said on Friday.

According to him, the state government will partner with Ibile Oil and Gas and other private organisations to create different charging points in the city, so that people will have where to charge the cars.

In his address, Stallion Group Managing Director Rohtagi Manish said that the innovation was a step towards an eco-friendly green Lagos.

Igbere TV learnt that the vehicle when fully charged for 9 hours 35 minutes can go a distance of 482km (the equivalent of Lagos to Warri) before it requires charging again.

If people start patronizing electric cars in Nigeria, Buhari will place ban on importation and sales of electric cars, so that Dangote refinery will not fail.

Was it manufactured in Nigeria ��?
If not, then there’s no reason to clap.
We’ll still have to import with Dollars. Not creating jobs and not good for our economy

Nice development, but something like this is not meant for today's Nigeria, may be future nigeria, that's if it has been judged by developed country.

Make I buy this type of car dey go Ibadan, come jam that Ibadan expressway traffic that would hold me there for like 5hours and no light anywhere close to charge my battery.

Nah to come down carry my thing for head dey trekk till I reach Ibadan in 2030 cheesy
