Am happy to see and know that Nigeria is already keying in on this technology. This goes to show that if our government for focus on technology, Nigeria will be better for it and will indeed lead the black race in technology. More so, this is a sign of good things to come in Nigeria. To cap it up your channel is one out of many to first of all promote electric car in Ernest. I really did not know that we have companies in Nigeria who are already manufacturing electric cars in Nigeria. Thanks for sharing David. God bless you.
🇳🇬 Nigeria is getting really industrialized or should I say is industrialized and a manufacturer of many things like vehicles, military vehicles, navy ships and light helicopters etc. So much talented entrepreneurship too. Glad to see so many different countries in Africa being increasingly successful and really industrialized ... and "green" esp as there is plenty of free energy as in sunlight for solar-power in northern Nigeria 🇳🇬 😀.
I'm interested in buying. I just need to be sure that the cost of charging will not be higher than the cost of fueling even now that fuel subsidy has been discontinued.
Yessss... I'll definitely get an electric car if I had the funds to do so. What people don't realize is that paying electric bills to charge the vehicles in Nigeria is far cheaper than purchasing gasoline or diesel and because there are far less parts, they are less likely to break down when compared to gasoline-powered cars. So even if these EVs are more expensive, the long-term costs are far lower than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. This video was really well-made. It gives me a little hope that Nigeria is headed in the right direction, at least in a few areas.
I love to see Africans being innovative. I wonder how did they choose which people they would let drive the electric motorcycles in that one town?? Lucky them!😊
I have always loved electric cars. If only our government will look in this direction and encourage the required infrastructure to be implemented. I mean the charging stations. This is what we need far more than fuel subsidy.
I remember SA's first EV was a locally made MPV called the Optimal Energy Joule - it was back before even Tesla was mainstream. The first foreign EV was the Nissan Leaf, followed very closely by the Jaguar iPace, Aude e-tron and all that other German garbage. Goes to show how these manufacturers see different markets.
thank you for documenting this project honestly someone like me will invest and buy multiple electric cars because the future is tied around electrification and people with fore-site will seize this opportunity while it's still in it's baby steps stage i believe if there are more charging stations electric automobile will thrive more than the internal combustion automobile and price of the cars is another factor to consider to make the cake go around
Thank you David for this wonderful information. Nigeria should invest more in technology as the world evolves with it. Electric vehicles EV is currently 15% of China's automobile and that percentage is expected to double by 2025. Automobile companies in Nigeria "Innoson, Nord etc" should start delving into this innovative for their future production. Looking forward to more informative videos from you David. Good job.
Thank you Daniel you right, I also read Innoson is looking into it. I will like to see innovation, where sleek solar panels are installed on the car and it charges automatically as you drive without the need to park and charge. With abundant sun in Nigeria, Solar is the best way to go.
Why is our government bringing in electric car manufacturers from foreign countries and not concentrate on a Nigerian, like the young man from Maduguri ? Government should partner with him.
Great news technology is growing in Nigeria. The young man in the North is really trying. Electric cars average £35k or more in the UK, charging stations are popping up everywhere. Thanks David 😊
I will prefer my next car to be 100% electric.I urge the manufacturers to keep it up and never relent in their quest to promote envirnmentally friendly automobiles as we are already transiting to such in our homes and offices with the use of solar powered home appliances and devices.
Of course, I will buy an electric car Sincerely thank you for this information I never knew the car exist here, because of power epileptic I think am better informed now and appreciate your effort in bringing this video to our knowledge. We are better informed now
Hello David. Thanks for this video. I am making a research work and i just picked a few clues from your presentation. if you don't mind i would like to direct message you.
Are you factoring the traffic on lagos-ibadan & ore- Benin & asaba-onitsha expressways? All things being equal you will need a recharge to travel from Lagos to port-harcourt.
when you speak with international audience, you should jettison Nigeria's academic ignorance. There is nothing like south south anywhere in the world except in Nigeria. Good information you relayed though
I'd love to buy an electric car, they are more practical because less reliance on petrol will reduce the fuel lines but the prices are still too high and unattainable for most.
The car is too expensive, Good quality electric car from China cost as low as 9 million naira. One can convert Used car to electric for extra e million, so why buy a car for 27 million. Electric car can be build for even 6 million naira in naira. Just watch the competition, in just 3 year fro. Now you will Chinese inthe business in Nigeria if our brothers want to exploit us badly.
Don’t deceive yourself oh! Bad roads are a problem mostly in the south! The northern states have put building roads behind them! It’s only governors in the south , particularly south east and south west who all act like emperors that are still shouting “ fedraaal roads , fedraaal roads”!!! Akwa Ibom and Crossriver have made much more efforts to build main and feeder roads in their states, regardless of whether a road is deemed federal or not! As for Lagos state, the supposedly 5th largest economy in Africa ( yeah right), they are the biggest jokers!
Interesting video and great to see advances in EV in Nigeria. But I wonder if we are putting the cart before the horse. There are few places you can comfortably drive your EV without having to think about the state of the roads. I think we need good road networks to drive cars to begin with! I’m not even going into electricity availability. In your video you state that the car can be charged with a powerful generator, isn’t this ironic? EV is meant to be sustainable but yet one needs to purchase and burn diesel to charge the car. Suffice to say electric cars like most other things in Nigeria will be out of reach for the majority even seemingly comfortable folks with the price tags quoted. Is the government going to provide some tax relief? Ah pardon me, what a silly question…..! So if I was resident in Nigeria I won’t be investing in an EV yet as there is still soooo much to do. I live in England and although the infrastructure to support EV is available, it’s not enough…. In Nigeria, the infrastructure is barely there.
Great Submission Sir. But if Solar charging systems are implemented all around the country as planned, it will be easy. even in most homes today people use Solar instead of generators because of the abundant sun in Nigeria. As for the road, well the EV is the same as other cars, so it will survive. However, for the road in Abuja is perfect for any car. Other states too have good road, especially in the GRA's
@@DavidNkwa thanks for your response. But if I want to drive my EV car from Lagos to Benin (which is doable with a fully charged vehicle like the Hyundai one in your video), but to somewhere with roads that are not great? What I am trying to highlight is that we need the basics before we start punching for lack of a better phrase “above our weights “. We need basic well maintained road network and good electricity supply before we start leaping on to the EV bandwagon. I guess for now most will watch the wealthy drive their EV cars around town till it is within touching distance of the above average folk.
Where are they going to be charged? Disco just brought in million Naira bill for a single day electric vehicle charge. However, this is the best way forward. I am glad this is being adopted. One of our greatest sicknesses is epileptic power. We are not ready for the future.
@DemiKhay Naija You are absolutely correct. and if you have a solar system installed at home, you also do not need AEDC and can easily charge it up overnight for 8 hours
@@DavidNkwa Solar power is not cheap and stable either. Its net power supply is very small. One needs huge battery storage for a project like this to be feasible..
@@DavidNkwa I did. Let's not overlook things by referring to those white mini buses. They are used within very short distances and took long time to recharge. It is not very efficient in a country like our with poor infrastructure in all aspects. When many vehicles are hooked to the grid or solar power system then we will start to have problems like the ones with old NEPA. We cannot supply power for our consumers in the first place. Why do we believe we will not face power problem with EVs? The problem we have is leadership else this project can be realized.

Good to know that Nigeria is not lagging behind in terms of innovation in Ev.
Yea🤜
I'm interested in buying. I just need to be sure that the cost of charging will not be higher than the cost of fueling even now that fuel subsidy has been discontinued.
This is absolutely fascinating and it's worth investing in the solar power charging stuff hence electricity in Nigeria is always epileptic
True talk Ma
Africa have enough sun to power every electric cars on the planet this is very good news for Africa
Exactly. You right. In fact electric cars are meant for our continent
Yessss... I'll definitely get an electric car if I had the funds to do so.

If I have the money, I will buy it immediately.
Good innovation but not for the poor or the middle class
I'll buy any day even in my dreams I'll still want the electric car😅
Nice content brother
Buy physical oh... No dream buying 🤣🤣
Great information bro,why they aren't selling them in the Caribbean especially the gas prices are killing the Caribbean.
Nice one
@ 5:50 The young man in the north is doing a great job. This is positive news. Great coverage
I'm absolutely glad to hear this
Very informative video, yes I will, especially the eelectric bikes. Thanks for sharing.
Great
Yes I would love to buy an electric car
With the removal of fuel subsidy who wouldn't buy the only glitch is the price of the cars
lovely video. Well researched
I have always loved electric cars. If only our government will look in this direction and encourage the required infrastructure to be implemented. I mean the charging stations. This is what we need far more than fuel subsidy.
Every petrol station can and should have an electric charging section in Nigeria to encourage the transition to electric mobility
I love this

I say Amen to your prayers. Let's share the video. Appreciate it

This is nice.. But the price is not encouraging at all....
Extremely informative and educational! I would go for an EV there for sure
Great

That's the Spirit
So many Honda’s
Nice to know , hope it works out for Nigeria
Doubting Thomases
yes for sure I will buy an electric car because it's cheaper to maintain and on the other hand the Eco system becomes stable
Out side is Hyundai but inside is Toyota, why reach 23h before full chargine, you have to do something about this on
To be honest if our government can fully support our youth or Nigeria entrepreneurs who are inventing in automobile industry
I will prefer my next car to be 100% electric.I urge the manufacturers to keep it up and never relent in their quest to promote envirnmentally friendly automobiles as we are already transiting to such in our homes and offices with the use of solar powered home appliances and devices.
I look forward to buy an electric car and provide a five minutes charging station.
Of course, I will buy an electric car
Sincerely thank you for this information
I never knew the car exist here, because of power epileptic
I think am better informed now and appreciate your effort in bringing this video to our knowledge. We are better informed now
Glad the info helped thank you Ma, for watching and commenting, appreciate it
I think Lagos to yenagoa not port Harcourt
Where can l learn how to convert fuel used vehicles to electric usee vehicles in Nigeria? Help me please. Thanks
How much does the Hyundai electric car cost and how can one gets it ?
Great video.
Do you know any EV charger dealers in Nigeria who perform sales and installation services please?
No Sir
How many KW is used to do a full charge?
How do one get an electric car in naija and when
LNG powered cars are better for now.
24, 27 and 30m.
Less than 0.5 percent of Nigerians can afford it,
Quite xpensive
Will this charging be free? Just a question?
30 million naira is too much for the ultimate package Kona
Fuel lol
We don't want just assembly of electric vehicles, we want the manufacture of electric vehicles and electric batteries.

How much sir
What is the price
Good video, but guy where the light
Solar sir
The price is not realistic
Are you factoring the traffic on lagos-ibadan & ore- Benin & asaba-onitsha expressways? All things being equal you will need a recharge to travel from Lagos to port-harcourt.
True
Why the east going to port Harcourt when u have a better road in the south from warri straight down ... Why asaba Onitsha to port Harcourt?
ELECTRIC CARS ARE GOOD BUT THE SYSTEM IS MAKING IT TOO EXPENSIVE TO BUY
See talent, the government will not sponsor them.
Hopefully they will
