Five reasons drivers are switching, a straight cost comparison in naira, and honest answers to the questions everyone asks.
PRICE COMPARISON · RUNNING COSTS
What it costs to drive 1,500 km a month.
Close to nothing for the energy itself. The cost is the solar and inverter, paid once.

Why electric is the best bet.
About ₦4,190 to drive 100 km on home electricity, against ₦17,100 in a petrol SUV.
BAND A TARIFF, PETROL AT ₦1,900/LNo oil changes, spark plugs or exhaust on a fully electric car, and regenerative braking means brake pads last far longer.

HONEST ANSWERS
The questions
everyone asks.
What about power cuts?
Charge overnight when grid supply is most reliable, or from a solar and battery storage setup. Plug-in hybrids can seamlessly switch to fuel if battery runs out.
Can I charge from a generator?
You can in an emergency, but running a diesel/petrol generator eliminates the operational cost advantage. It is a backup, not your primary charging strategy.
Are electric cars more expensive to buy?
Initial purchase price can be higher, but the monthly operational savings of approximately ₦193,650 typically recoup the price difference within 2 to 3 years.
Who services electric vehicles in Nigeria?
Certified EV technicians and specialist workshops vetted by Everything electric cars, stocked with genuine diagnostic computers and OEM parts.
