Nigus, a Nigerian firm, has concluded plans to assemble electric vehicles in the country by 2020.<\/p>\n
Its Chairman, Prince Malik Ado Ibrahim, who made this known in Abuja at the weekend, said he was pushing this line of investment to save Nigeria from becoming a dumping ground for hydrocarbon vehicles in the future. He said the company would begin with the importation of the cars next year, before the eventual manufacturing phase that would follow thereafter.<\/p>\n
Before then, Nigus plans to import the vehicle by the end of next year.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim said there would be two types of electric vehicles \u2013 the wholly electric and the hybrid: \u201cHigh-grade versions, which are the engines, gasoline engine and electric which are also phenomenal vehicles to use in case one isn\u2019t available, you could always use the other and switch between both.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the idea to kickstart the venture, flowed from his visit to China, where he found the opportunity for Nigeria and Africa to start the next frontier, which is electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to be at that cutting edge. What we want to do is learn about the vehicles, the engineering and be a manufacturer by 2040 when everybody else is now saying hydrocarbon cars are banned, we want to say keep your combustion engines. In fact, we are no longer importing any combustion engine. We have a nationally produced vehicle or a continentally accepted vehicle, so that was my push.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just signed an agreement to first import either a white label vehicle, all the BYD vehicles and look for a Nigerian brand. We are still looking at the name we want to use and by 2020, we would start an assembly plant here, assembling a Nigerian branded electric vehicle with all the modern fittings that you want in a car,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian electric vehicle, he said, will have its \u201cDNA initially from BYD.<\/p>\n
He said the BYD Head Engineer was the head of engineering from Audi, adding, \u201cso, we know that it\u2019s going to be a tremendous amount of creature, comfort and modernity in these cars and we are hoping that by the time we start assembling them, we would also bring Nigerian designers from around the world to come in and have an Africanised DNA in the vehicle as well. So, we are looking at competitions for design.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
On partnership, Ibrahim said: \u201cChina is the largest manufacturer of lithium iron phosphate batteries and these batteries will give us the ability to store electricity, deliberately at a reduced cost. I mean it\u2019s expensive now, but it would begin to reduce if they become very available and as it is right now, we believe lithium iron phosphate batteries are going to be, not just what you see in your cars, it\u2019s also what you are going to see in your homes. They can be as advantageous as generators can be. Part of the product that BYD and Nigus are bringing is actually our home storage unit and office storage unit.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nMercedes\u2019 F 015 self-driving car:\u00a0Nigis plan to assemble a car like this<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
<\/p>\n
On the cost of the vehicles, he said: \u201cAt the most, it will be 20 per cent higher than the hydrocarbon cars. But we are looking at vehicles that are ranging from between $26,000 and $100,000, everything in between from cars and trucks and then commercials.<\/p>\n
The affordability issue, he said, has two distinct opportunities. An electric vehicle, according to him, is 20 per cent more expensive than other cars. \u201cBut if you compare the SUV side,\u00a0 which is comparable to the Range Rover, they are probably up to $7000 more expensive in Europe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you bought this car and you ran it exactly at the same mileage with an average gasoline car, your operating cost is not even in the ball pack, you are not buying oil, you are not doing maintenance, you are not taking it for service. The only thing you are putting are brake oil and the tyres that are consumables, nothing else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
