First electric car unveiled in Nigeria
First locally- assembled full electric car manufactured by Stallion Group has been launched in Lagos State, Nigeria.
The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu while performing the launching of the electric car in Ojo, Lagos State, said with Hyundai Kona innovation, Nigerians do not need to worry about what the pump price of petrol and other Petroleum products are again.
According to report, Hyundai Kona comes with zero emission, 482km driving range, and can be charged both at home and workplace.
Mr. Sanwo-Olu added that, the state government will partner with Ibile Oil and Gas and other private organisations to create different charging points across the state, so that people will have access to charge their cars wherever they go.
Governor Sanwo-Olu who commended Stallion Group for believing in the Lagos and Nigeria dream, also commended the company for revamping the moribund VON asset located along Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
He said Nigerians can now drive electric cars, noting that Lagos remains the hub for the nation’s economy and a pacesetter in industrialisation.
