but an electric car buyer, should first of all have a good means of charging the car.. that means lots of millions spent on an efficient solar setup!

but non the less.... The people that are eager to buy the most, are people who have a large array already we are talking of 20KW and above.... The first house i saw victron and fronius being combined, the house had a 40kw array, producing 150kwh a day na normal thing for the man setup.... Some days e de hit 180kwh
a day...but its just a house of a family of four,the couple plus two children....setup like this na electric car(s) remain to take all the excess...

if you still wan use nepa no wam... If you can draw 7.2KW from nepa for just ten hours.... That should be enough to run you 400km on average before next charge,..if you rarely drive above 100km/h you can get up to 500km of range with AC.... With even band A and its high price, a typical 75Kwh battery can be charged for less than 18,000 naira worth of electricity,..... My house is on band B.....That same 75kwh battery if i use nepa charge am e no go chop up to 6,000 naira worth of electricity... abeg which car today wey 18k fuel go carry am from abuja to kaduna and back to abuja without refuel....

kristien4:
if i get 85m to spend on car, i no go dey DIY forum with you because i will never "do it myself" my money will do it for me.. Abeg find cheaper ones.

changan e star de for 33 million o... But na d same size with kia picanto.... About 20 units on ground.

Honda fully electric going for 85 Million.... Put your excess solar to work....and not be affected by fuel instability

litaninja:
That foreseeing will never come to pass in the next 5 - 10 years.
The country has no manufacturing industry / sector to speak of and no basic infrastructure. You can't produce vehicles in isolation or out of thin air.

before GSM, naija electricity infrastructure was not the best.. But we went from 2G...3G...5G....some people that never used landline, never used nokia torchlight with 2G...there first phone na 5G...serious jumping if you ask me... Electric cars will thrive without waiting for proper infrastructure trust me.

isangjohnson:
When the big truck is coming, just clear it by the road side .
I doubt if there is any charging station in Nigeria. I'm sure people are working on that project and I'm also waiting to hear the cost and the materials used.
I guess people are charging their electric cars at home now using PV and NEPA light.
Pv is the best option
ẞom

there is a charging station in apo next to dansville plaza after apo Bridge... Its inside one government auto office..... There is another one in jabi lake mall... That one six cars can charge at the same time.... There is another one in wuse 2 near exclusive Stores.... Its inside a restaurant... Sterling bank have one in lagos... Every House with socket is a potential charge point... It may be slow but its still cheaper than petrol

mctfopt:
Wuling EV dey for you

this is the one door version, enviable transport launched the two door version as a taxi in abuja..but i never see even one for road.

You've finished me..... Unto poor man level, na electric bicycle I supposed drive....

odimbannamdi:
Demand for Fuel following increased prices is inelastic in nature, meaning even if they sell fuel for 2000/litre today, people will still buy. But the demand will be very elastic in the future as people will actively look for and be more receptive to alternatives to fuel.

We are already seeing a lot of adoption of solar energy as an alternative to fuel for domestic application. Next in line are solar-powered or electric vehicles. One good thing this whole fuel crisis is going to do for us is eventual uncoupling or reduced dependence on fuel, at least for the transportation sector. It may look impossible, but it is doable.

I forsee an EV/solar energy company producing vehicles suitable for our market, especially as regards budget. It will definitely open up new opportunities as well.

solar powered vehicle? Like to power the radio and lights abi? Cause the amount of panels you need to turn the four tires at up to even 50km/h no be small thing o.

solasola:
person wey no get money don suffer o

am telling you full tank of fuel for 20 year old corolla don pass minimum wage... Interesting times.

ConfidentialDoc:
Why ?
Because he likes breaking things...?

Or What qualifies for that position more than others ?

he takes one of the toughest decisions for the state

ceejay80s:
And he will destroy the whole of Lagos,
He might even be the cause of tinubus down fall when the people retaliates....they should continue pushing

nobody likes lagos during flooding, make people stop to de build house near drainage... Especially planned drainage. After el rufai demolish abuja finish he went to become governor of kaduna.

isangjohnson:
Do they have 10kwh in the range of 6m for beginners like us?

i have one electric bicycle for 950k...

this guy will become governor of lagos one day

mctfopt:
I like the range of 315 miles or 506km.


Massive battery 100kwh+

Mercedes dey try. Car is around $100k to $125k in the USA. I guess exchange rate, duty and shipping cost is to blame for that ₦410m tag in Naija.


Let them ship in Xiaomi SU7 EV. At least boys can afford that one.

na china everybody de wait for o.... As BYD sell more cars than tesla last year i know say e don be...xiaomi EV go flood africa like e flood phones, just watch.

Dam5reey:
Let's start here, Leave those two
Is this inclusive of shipping and clearing or just buying cost?

the cars are already in abuja, customs duty paid for. Original documents available

changan E-star fully electric hatch back full battery is about 32.2kwh....33 million.

mercedes EQS SUV...fully electric and a full charge should drive you abuja to JOS without recharging with AC turned on....410 million naira

volkswagen ID 5....fully electric....97million

abuja car dealerships don de get mind import up to twenty units of brand new electric cars at once...same guy even posted a Mercedes EQS (SUV version)..... arise my naija mechatronics graduates.... new food don come...na professionals for maintenance and servicing remain....the increase in electric cars will surely increase solar usage.

Police and lawyer de wait to chop too.

durodee:
Please house help me solve this issue o. A neighbour came to my place and loved my setup . He has an hotel and he wished the following loads to be carried for 12-16hours :
All lights-about 100 pieces of 10watts
Three freezers ( I don't know Capacity but medium capacity)
27 fan -ceiling type
28 big tv - about (36inches I think)
And borehole pumping machine 1.5hp for @2-3hrs per day
I estimated 6-7kwh of load at full capacity
Na so installer brought:
12x450w panels
4x2.5kwh (10kwh total) Sunkings batteries
3.5kva inverter.

I have advised my neighbour to request for his money on, because Na fight go end that relationship!

Hybrid600:
This is like my best thread on NL. The wealth of knowledge here is immeasurable. Thanks to everyone that contributes in one way or the other.

@swagifted
Where my Jos mango?

omo. You go see am soon.

Schneider XW pro 6.8KW Vs SOL-ARK 12KW inverter.
Inductive load test
Resistive loads test
Starting capacity and real world application test. Watch and Enjoy

HeavenlyBang:
Can you even feed back into the grid in Nigeria?

nope...even if you do your meter go minus

Dam5reey:
your Don't last is too generic. Provide detailed information.

like i said... Hybrids de reign because nepa too de take light...

to be honest , if nigeria had net metering and the grid was highly reliable and also the agreement is 1kwh for 1kwh (i supply the grid 1kwh with my solar in the afternoon and the grid gives me back the 1kwh in the night), i will not take a hybrid over an ON grid inverter, the grid is essentially my battery so why spend so much on batteries?....as much as i love hybrids(because nepa too de take light), they don't last as long as on grids only.

Dam5reey:
Hybrids are here to stay and have stood the test of time already. why are people still contemplating?
Hybrid gives you an Inverter, Charger, and MPPT, cheaper than any standalone.

example with 250K. you can have
a 3kva inverter with 60A charger,
80A MPPT, go and price stand-alone equivalent.

Hybrid allows you to customize slightly when grid charge, how much grid charge, when Solarcharge, Only Solar charge during the day and Grid charge in the night, etc. with standalone, you need to have good know-how and other tools to achieve these.

inside this nigeria?

NeckingNgulping:
Since, i started working in 2020, i haven't seen a single power outage at the company where i work. I mean 365 days x 4.

National assembly can't keep electricity for the few hours of meaningless gathering.

Shame.

UnfairLife7:
you want them to go to school of how much inside their 30k minimum wage?

they should accept thier fate with whatever 30k can provide

are you serious? many schools here school fees for one year no reach 500 dollars

UnfairLife7:
how is it cheap?

starlink sef is 38k a month

99thEnemy:


DStv will surely exit Nigeria.
It won’t be too long.



When people find comfort in an alternative, they will discover them for the fraud that they are.

Imagine unlimited Airtel EBB with no Fair Use Policy (FUP) and 20Mbps 40Mbps speed for 30days is N20,000 N35,000

Netflix for 4 devices is N5000, showmax is as cheap as N1200

then I will go and waste N37,000 on DStv premium?

when I also have one thousand and onety one free sources to stream online? even live matches?


They must be on colos.
Happy Exit to DStv in the very soon to come advance.

EDIT: 20k unlimited is no longer available, only 35k unlimited 30days at 40Mbps is the minimum.

100FIX1:
Any spending limit?

i think its 1k dollars a month. But note also its like 100k is the minimum opening balance...it could be higher

mine are 5 years and counting,

Oshomo12:
This Sonoff is just rubbish, mine stopped working it just 1year of use.
