How many hoses can get 9 hours electricity in Nigeria?

Anybody who can afford this car can afford 24hrs electricity in their homes.

You guys are surprising, is the car for everyone?

This your complaint is akin to complaining that Rolls Royce is too expensive and shouldn’t be sold in Nigeria because the masses can’t afford it. You’re a comedian

Electricity distribution has greatly improved in some parts of the country. Largely depends on where you live!
We get almost 24 hrs electricity where I live right here in Lagos, so I don't know what this people are talking about.

Ok, thank you. I confess I'm not all that familiar with electric car usage, but wouldn't there still be a baseline consumption rate that would increase with constantly accelerating and decelerating as in a hold-up, as against cruising at a constant velocity when driving on a smooth highway? Also, how does using the air conditioning unit affect battery consumption?
accelerating and decelerating is actually good for electric cars..

There is something called regenerative braking, most electric cars have it.
Everytime you decelerate, your battery gains charges. (Google regenerative braking for more details)

As for ac, the consumption is usually very minimal. Atleast on popular brand.

Watch this video on that if you have enough data.

You are right. That's how that Ogun State clown, Gbenga Daniel, rebranded some pick-up vehicles and called them OLUMO. After the "unveiling" I have never come across any on our roads again.

Haha Haha
I laugh in Greek.
Somebody is about to realise the terrible mistake they made building a refinery in 2021.
The electric car is taking off and I love it!
Anyway I heard crude oil is edible so it may have other uses.
Instead of them to build an electric car research and assembly plant they sank billions of dollars into the sea.

onyiloyi:
If we use prepaid meter to charge it, won't it consume more than 10k for 9:35?
still an ignorant talk. Electric motor is not internal combustion engine, it is far more energy efficient, do not have much frictional forces that will generate heat energy as wasted energy instead of kinetic for movement.
Explaining your worries, how much kilowatt of power do you buy to your prepaid meter to last you a month. Use the same money to buy fuel to your generator and tell me how many days it will last you for the same load of usage. If you load your meter with say 10k for a month, that same 10k worth of fuel in generator will barely last you more that 24 hours nonstop.

Do you now understand the logic.

You are a very big fool. Is it the Governor that gives supply or PHED? Electricity is a private sector business, the company can choose who to sell to depending on the viability of their business in that area. If the company considers your area viable they will give u light like ewet housing
You are the most foo.lish person on Earth.. so common sense can't tell you that government have direct or indirect power to influence who and who enjoy the allocation of electricity that flows to the state.. Ibom Power Station is it the state or PHED that build it?? U are usel.ess

. A very stupid innovation.
I find it hard to make sense of this product in Nigeria but do not agree with it being a stupîd innovation. If mega solar or wind powered charging spots can be built, it will ease the entrance of this idea into our activities.
Re: Hyundai Kona To Run For 482 Km When Charged, Charging Takes 9.35 Hours by CodeTemplar: 9:14am On Feb 08, 2021
This product should be modified into molues and buses for intra-city movement.

Imagine Lagos having a handful of solar or wind powered charging spots or stations and their BRTs being electric vehicles. It will make more sense that way. This product can be our own short term answer to underground trains and monorails in advanced nations.

Hmmmm, this thread is exposing lots of illiterates.

It takes 9 hours to charge fully.

A full battery can do 400+km

That means just 2 hours charge should be able to do almost 100km.

How many people do 100km daily to work and back home?

This means this can work even when you have poor electricity.

A bare minimum of 2hrs charge at home or at work and you're good to go.

Na only few people get sense for naija, you sir/ma are one of them cool

Interesting. Thank you.
He's a little off with his calculations though. The battery dropped one percentage point in about 9 minutes. So that type of car would need at least 25% charge for a 4 hour sit in a hold up. Still, it's manageable.

My only hope is that PHCN can live up to the task, especially with the huge increase in consumption when electric cars become mainstream. Plus the fact that almost everyone would want to charge at night while sleeping causing a nightly overload. In my opinion, the little electricity we generate should be better put to use running our factories for now.

At home and at work according to the article...that means your work place will also be providing charging point for you.

And the charging port will be supplied power by fuel-powererd generators. I don't see the sense in that. The best way to go is to have solar powered self-charging cars.

This is very economical, even if you are to charge with a generator, @ #170.00 per liter , you can buy 10 litre of petrol for #1700.00 for a full charge. But #1700.00 fuel on normal petrol car cannot do Over 400klm.

That's enough to go to work and return. Most office places have steady lights so I don't think there would be a problem. Do you know what 482km means? It's huge bro. Once charged, the car can be used for a whole week if all you do is home to work, to market, church/mosque and social events within the state

9 hours is not my problem, the problem is with the 51% increase in power tariff, it will be a case of penny wise pound foolish, unless you have an alternative source of Power.

The solution of Nigeria's problem is when we start beating local government chairmen.
That's the only arm of government that deals directly with the people.
Currently we don't disturb them for anything and they just relax and chop money.

Oya na? Where's the alternative source of power?
It's quite foolish for anybody to buy electrical cars and tools, without first having the electricity required to run said equipment.
Why do we keep on doing this shit in Nigeria?
This video is all about energy sources used in UK.

I lived there for 4 years and there was 24/7/365 electricity. In fact the residents don't even know that there's such a thing as "No Nepa".
We can only learn and copy their style here before we start talking of electric cars.
But their electric bill was costly O!!!

See UK street. NO NEPA pole/line anywhere.
All was buried underground.

Honestly. You wonder if many Nigerians attended primary school.
Infact 100km is way more than even 4 regular days of daily commute.
And with the fast charging adapter it could get 80% in an hour. way cheaper than gas by far.
