We propose comprehensive awareness campaigns to fast-track electric vehicle adoption, expanding charging infrastructure, government-driven policies, and integrating localised technology, specifically focusing on last-mile transport.
The Nigerian government has recognized the potential of electric vehicles to address environmental challenges and promote economic development. Initiatives such as the Energy Transition Plan (ETP) target a complete adoption of electric vehicles by 2060.
Led by the very perceptive auto designer, Jelani Aliyu, the NADDC appears to have sharpened its statutory role in formulating policies, regulations, and incentives to support the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Nigeria. It is championing the provision of financial incentives, tax breaks, and regulatory support that will encourage public

Global interest in climate change and its effects on the environment and society more broadly, is at an all-time high. Specifically, with the unpredicted pandemic of COVID-19, more countries are increasingly acknowledging the shift that''s needed from a fossil fuel-driven economy to one that is sustainable, green and attempts to mitigate climate change.
Hyundai Motors Nigeria, recognised this paradigm shift in the transportation sector by bringing in electric mobility that is a step towards the same goal. For a developing country like Nigeria, not being discouraged by the infrastructural challenges, Stallion plans to launch the first ever Electric Vehicle (EV) in conjugation with Hyundai to embark on the attitudinal change for a clean environment.
Kona electric has been extensively applauded for its class driving range, safety convenience features and fast-charging capability. Its success can be measured by the following; In April 2020, it was named the Best Small Family Car by the inaugural TopGear Electric Awards based on its 24-hour (1,600-km) performance. The EV also played a role in the KONA nameplate winning Spanish newspaper ABC''s Best Car of the Year award. It also won the 2019 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year.
An NNPC subsidiary has launched an EV charging station, moving Nigeria closer to energy self-sufficiency, reduced dependence on fuel imports.

The parties also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of charging stations in Nigeria, which will see the spread of the facilities nationwide.
Speaking at the event in Mabushi, Abuja, the Managing Director of NNEL, Kanayo Odoe, described renewables as the future, considering that they are cheaper, cleaner and less harmful to the environment and human health.
He argued that NNPC as an organisation has a lot of interest in cleaner sources of fuels with the establishment of the new subsidiary, explaining that apart from charging vehicles, the new stations will also be able to power homes.
"This is the way of the future. This is the way of the world. Aside from maybe climate change, we are particular too about the health impacts of fossil fuels on the environment.
"So, this is a no-brainer. Also, you consider the economics of it. This is cheaper for our people. So, coming together to push for renewable energy is in the interest of our nation as one of the options for energy sources.
"Our GCEO of NNPC is very particular about renewable energies. And that has led to the birth of NNPC New Energies Limited. So, moving forward, there’s going to be a lot of action in this space. And this action in this space will lead not only to EVs recharging stations, but also lighting up Nigeria through solar," Odoe explained.
Aside from the north, he stated that the chargers will also expand to the south because there''s sunlight in all parts of Nigeria, promising to work with NNEL''s partners to spread cheaper sources of energy to consumers.
"So we have the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Nigus, you have the NNPC, we are the non-operators in this case, so NNEL is working with Nigus to supply the equipment, charging stations across.
Also speaking, the Chairman and Chief Executive of Shafa Energies, Abdulmuminu Maishanu, said he was glad that his company was taken as a participant in the pilot phase of the programme, stressing that the objective was to ensure that electric vehicles and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) become good alternatives for the very expensive fuels.
He noted that the plan was to ensure the survival of the country due to the current economic conditions, expressing his commitment to the federal government''s initiative to embrace cheaper fuels.
He stated that even though the rest of the world was already ahead, it was good for Nigeria to start somewhere.
In his remarks, Chairman of Nigus International, Malik Ado-Ibrahim, noted that as a company operating in 18 countries, Nigus has developed over 1 gigawatt of storage, with the lithium coming from Nasarawa, Niger and Taraba states.
