QuoteJust1nce:
You're better off not listening to this guy (if it's not you lol )
Same guy that said MPPTs are waste of money and PWMs do exactly the same thing as MPPTs;
He didn't even understand the physics behind excess voltage conversion and said it was a marketing scam.
Run ooooo!!!!

i never ever rate that guy.

like maintenance and servicing?

Trippledots:
Carry me along. We do EVs where I work.

"We made a mistake" - Tinubu says as he suspends ban on purchase of petrol-dependent vehicle to prevent civil unrest and anarchy

its to some civil servants and government operations, not for the general public, they are trying to encourage CNG cars.. But what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

mctfopt:
This one looks cool. I hope they have after sales support. I'm DIYing my way through in my ebike as I have zero after sales service. I know I won't get any though when I imported it

many years ago if you search "electric vehicle charger" for jiji you go see many vendors wey de sell am....is there anything Nigerians cannot import?

The 4000 metric ton daily lithium processing plant in nassarwa state have been inaugrated.. Over 1000 indigenes employed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h52Jow-ttcQ?si=woR5xf09LvrBNAMt

Toyota BZ 4X full electric with 400km range.... 71Kwh battery.the car is Already in abuja with customs fully paid. Seven units available going for 90million each..... Stack up your solar my brethren...

litaninja:
Funny thing is, I wish I were wrong

in 2018 i went for a course in lagos in an institute called "Applied engineering technology initiative" (AETI)... Its just before iponri Bridge off bode thomas in surulere.,...the course i did was "Industrial Automation".... All i can say is that we have high quality Nigerian engineers. And they are not intimidated by societal negativity....they are highly passionate about replicating solutions that have worked in advanced countries, na to dd learn everyday till its perfect...

odimbannamdi:
This Baba, how you take dey know all these things?

in some African countries petrol is selling for over 1 dollar per liter.... Which is almost 1400 naira today.... All these fuel queues in the last few days or weeks will clear immediately they change thier price to 1400 or more.... Which means cars with 80 liters tank (use Lexus LX for example), will need 112,000 naira for every full tank. U never add fuel for 2nd or 3rd family car if any....the electricity madness that happened in February and March really drove up the installation of massive scale solar and now a lot of families are generating far more excess than they consume.... Couple with BAND A cost.... It only makes sense to add electric mobility. Not only are you generating energy to run your house electrical loads... U are also generating to run your cars...this makes solar energy payback quicker.

If the demand for electric cars continue at its current trajectory, panels and inverter will see an increase in price if supply cannot keep up... As i de talk to you 7 units of toyota pure electric just arrived abuja... My shipping agent in lagos say he has 38 units of chinese electric cars to send to abuja this coming week(he drives a tesla himself).

Chairman, You win.

litaninja:
I promise you, electric cars are more than battery and motors.

Your future software engineers to build the brains of the electric cars are being arrested / kidnapped by your police for owning computers and eventually leave the country frustrated sir.

Nigeria is trying to build a house from window level.

No electricity, no steel industry, no structured vocational sector to write home about, no water, no health care, no security, no roads / access to raw materials, no communication backbone but wants to jump to manufacturing electric cars. How?

Dantata, mining / processing and then what next, lithium is taken away to where value is added and then @Valto re-imports as already manufactured cells, imports manufactured BMS, puts together and sells at a markup. What next? Nigeria has been doing that for decades, still sliding backwards economically.

Auxano imports everything puts together and sells at a markup, still leaving naija net shortchanged. How does that help?

Until those fundamentals I listed earlier are sorted, the country will country dance around in the mud pit. No be curse, na fact.

Electric cars na battery and electric motors... You are telling me that this two things are more complex than everything we have achieved in this country? Dantata group have just launched a lithium mining and procesing plant... That is a step... Auxano Nigeria limited assembles solar panels in Nigeria.... That is another step.... Valto for this thread de couple battery... Little steps here and there and soon we will be running. I believe in the endeavours of Patriotic citizens....some years ago i know people that never believed in solar... Steady diesel burning.... Now things have changed.... If Nigerians don't drive electric cars, our future engineers won't have one to work on and gather experience till we get it right like the chinese.

litaninja:
I think we're saying 2 different things. Your last sentence alludes to the usage of electric cars in naija.
I am talking about the manufacturing of electric cars in naija.

While besides the point, the 2G, 3G, 4G and current 5G deployed in naija are mere illusions / suggestions. You can't be waiting an entire minute for the simplest of web pages to load, with all your commercial banks having connectivity issues every friday and claim to have anything even remotely close to 5G.
You can't skip the fundamental infrastructure, providers are struggling to provide basic services because almost 50% of every resource overhead is geared towards same.

Abeg which country no de experience Internet downtime?

Range is too small. Why is the cost that high?

Nigerian customs no get joy na why o, but this one na plug in hybrid.... When u add the range from driving on only fuel it will increase...

ojesymsym:
Does anyone think it is possible to repurpose a hybrid car to have a charging port to be able to charge the batteries?

If this is possible, a DIY person may be able to have a cheaper electric car.

changan UNi-V.... 2 liter engine with 18.4KWh LFP battery... Using only battery is rated for up to 130KM before petrol engine kicks on....just 75 million naira....
