Governor Sanwo-Olu Unveils First Electric Car In Nigeria

By -

 

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has unveiled Nigeria’s first locally-assembled full electric car manufactured by Stallion Group, Igbere TV reports.

The Hyundai Kona car comes with zero emission, 482km driving range, and can be charged both at home and workplace.

“With an innovation of Hyundai Kona, we do not need to put the pressure on what is the pump price of oil again, what is the pump price of petroleum again,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said on Friday.

According to him, the state government will partner with Ibile Oil and Gas and other private organisations to create different charging points in the city, so that people will have where to charge the cars.

In his address, Stallion Group Managing Director Rohtagi Manish said that the innovation was a step towards an eco-friendly green Lagos.

Igbere TV learnt that the vehicle when fully charged for 9 hours 35 minutes can go a distance of 482km (the equivalent of Lagos to Warri) before it requires charging again.

Location: Ogbomosho, Nigeria

  With Mia Toretto reuniting with Dom and his crew in the upcoming Fast & Furious 9, what are the chances that her husband, Brian O'Conner also appears? With  Fast & Furious 9  bringing some notable characters from past films back, what are the chances that Brian O'Conner will also return? The long-running Universal Pictures franchise is gearing up for its ninth installment from the primary saga and given the confirmed appearance of Han, the question of whether or not Brian could also somehow be involved must also be raised. After Paul Walker's tragic demise in 2013, James Wan's  Furious 7  was retooled to write off his character. Instead of sending him off permanently, however, the  Fast & Furious  franchise opted for a less sad farewell, with Brian deciding to retire from Dom and the team's operations to live a quiet family life with Mia and their son. Inevitably, of course, doing this kept the door open for a potential return for the character, with
