Electric vehicles (EVs) are trending globally cleaner, quieter, and cheaper to maintain. But where does Nigeria stand in this shift?
Global push: Countries like the US, China, and the UK are investing massively in EVs. Even African nations like South Africa and Rwanda are catching up.
Fuel subsidy removal: With fuel prices high in Nigeria, EVs could become more attractive if the infrastructure exists.
Current challenges: No reliable charging stations, unstable electricity, and high import costs make EV adoption slow here.
Hopeful signs: A few startups and car brands have introduced electric cars in Nigeria. Conversations are beginning, and awareness is growing.
In summary: Nigeria isn’t fully ready for an EV takeover yet. But with the right moves, the road to electric mobility could become more than just a dream.
