Charging stations are very necessary.

SeriouslySense:
Let's focus on what is really important, what people need and the way forward, it can not be so hard right,

azmanaty2:

Sundrus:

wunmi590:


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.

From Lagos to warri
What if warri no get charging points

kilonshele101:
please read the post again.

don't you see where he said charging points will be created across the city.

meaning even if you don't have light and you can't afford to buy a generator. you can always go to the charging point where there's going to be constant light to charge.

of course people are going to be paying but it will reduce the over dependent on oil price by motorists.

even if you're going to be using generator, instead of buying fuel for both your car and gen. you will only be buying for generator. then use your generator to charge your car and for other things.

this will lead to relatively decrease in demand for petrol which will force the market to reduce the Price.

sometimes always try to look at the big picture..playing devil's advocate all the time won't do any good

BigBashiru:
It's misplaced priority because the spending power isn't there among the populace.... disposable income is low.. ..how many ppl can buy tokunbo cars talkless of electric....

kilonshele101:
that is a problem out of many, plus the fact that you can't drive the car outside lagos.

but for lagos, though wealth is not evenly distributed but people way fit afford to buy more than an electric car dey. if those people can buy it, they should. that's something.

besides , no be lagos state government dey produce the car. na private enterprise. Bugatti is not meant for everyone, they are only producing for the few that can afford it. if Bugatti as a private enterprise is still in business, why should electric car be out of business.

Lagos is only partnering with some org to create charging points so that the market can be favorable for electric cars so that those that can afford the car can use it. the more the car is still in business even if only few people that are using it the more tax to be paid by electric car producer to lagos government. so why is it a misplaced priority and to who??

the fact that we and our friends can't afford something doesn't mean it's worthless. in Nigeria 99% can't afford a private jet but there are hangers across the country for the 1%.
sometimes you need to stop perceiving things poverty mentality

Tango123:
Hahaha. Maybe u will carry generator and fuel in ur boot.

Nigeria my country. Which way my people

biggy00000:
Small thing; simply carry your generator for back seat travel na

BigBashiru:
Those that can afford it are soon robbed off it.... b4 buying wealthy man stuff u need to check ur safety by checking ur environment. Driving bugatti in a neighbourhood of only okadas isn't safe.... lagos is still mostly poor.

It's not poverty mentality it's wisdom....

Olaide1295:
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

Fhemmmy:
Without a reliable charging station, it will be bad idea BUT i can almost bet that Hyundai probably have a plan already on how to install charging stations . . . .
