The thing I keep hearing from Nigerian EV drivers isn't a complaint about hardware.
It's a complaint about belief. They don't trust the network to be there when they need it.
That's a different — and harder — problem than building more chargers.
Quick poll for anyone in or near Nigerian EV.
The most useful thing for adoption over the next year is:
— public charger reliability
— affordable EVs on the market
— working financing
— shared, accurate data on what exists
Which one would you back?

A firm just unveiled Africa's largest EV charging hub in Abuja — 1,000+ vehicles a day.
Real progress. But it only works if drivers know a bay is free before leaving home.
Big charging and good data must grow together. One without the other is just a bigger car park

Driving around looking for a charger while your battery keeps dropping?
One of the biggest frustrations for EV drivers is assuming there are no charging stations nearby when in reality, they may be just outside your current search radius.
Spent the weekend comparing notes with EV drivers here.
The complaint wasn't “there aren't enough chargers.” It was “I can't tell which ones actually work right now.”
Those are two different problems. We talk about the first one far more than the second. #EVcharging#ConnectVolt
Quick one for anyone in the Nigerian EV space.
What would do more for adoption over the next 12 months?
— more public chargers
— cheaper EVs
— better financing
— reliable power
Curious where people land. No wrong answer.
Back to the real work.
Nigeria cut the import duty on EVs from 5% to zero earlier this year.
Small number, big signal: the government has decided it doesn't want to tax the thing it says it wants more of.
