When the big truck is coming, just clear it by the road side .
I doubt if there is any charging station in Nigeria. I'm sure people are working on that project and I'm also waiting to hear the cost and the materials used.
I guess people are charging their electric cars at home now using PV and NEPA light.
Pv is the best option

there is a charging station in apo next to dansville plaza after apo Bridge... Its inside one government auto office..... There is another one in jabi lake mall... That one six cars can charge at the same time.... There is another one in wuse 2 near exclusive Stores.... Its inside a restaurant... Sterling bank have one in lagos... Every House with socket is a potential charge point... It may be slow but its still cheaper than petrol

That foreseeing will never come to in the next 5 - 10 years.
The country has no manufacturing industry / sector to speak of and no basic infrastructure. You can't produce vehicles in isolation or out of thin air.

Demand for Fuel following increased prices is inelastic in nature, meaning even if they sell fuel for 2000/litre today, people will still buy. But the demand will be very elastic in the future as people will actively look for and be more receptive to alternatives to fuel.

We are already seeing a lot of adoption of solar energy as an alternative to fuel for domestic application. Next in line are solar-powered or electric vehicles. One good thing this whole fuel crisis is going to do for us is eventual uncoupling or reduced dependence on fuel, at least for the transportation sector. It may look impossible, but it is doable.

I forsee an EV/solar energy company producing vehicles suitable for our market, especially as regards budget. It will definitely open up new opportunities as well.

Does anyone have experience with flooded vs dry cell battery(Agm) which has a longer lifespan.. someone need help with deciding which to buy, dey dont want lithium.

Haba for their money, poor man they advice rich man how make money or spend his money

Good morning everyone. Please what’s the best possible brand of lithium ion one can get now? And pls are there equally competing lead acid batteries out there? I’ve been using Hoppecke 6V batteries for the past five years with no issues until recently. And they don’t seem to be available anymore. Kindly help with suggestions please.

Please my Felicity charge controller 100Amps is showing warning sign code 20. The issue is that my battery is charging but the code removed the watts and amps reading on the controller. My system is a 5.5KW inverter with 12 300watt Canadian used s. Please any solution?

Your MPPT want go sleep as night don come. It is normal thing when there is sun set. Get a clamp meter to confirm if it charging from your MPPT .. Ciao

before GSM, naija electricity infrastructure was not the best.. But we went from 2G...3G...5G....some people that never used landline, never used nokia torchlight with 2G...there first phone na 5G...serious jumping if you ask me... Electric cars will thrive without waiting for proper infrastructure trust me.

At times yes

We have just been too lazy in this country. Go to India and see what they are doing.
We don't patronize local content
Same way dudes will prefer going for Felicity than valto. But we know valto builds better Felicity in of capacity and cell grade. Let's not so get used to old ways of doing things, think wide and outside the box, the sky won't be able to hold you.

With the level of discourse and intellect is see here, lets not limit ourselves to just installing solar, look at the wider picture. Tesla and byd.....whatever no get two heads na.. and most of these applications are not rocket science.

Honda fully electric going for 85 Million.... Put your excess solar to work....and not be affected by fuel instability

With the level of discourse and intellect is see here, lets not limit ourselves to just installing solar, look at the wider picture.like valto. Take what you know a step further. Tesla and byd.....whatever no get two heads na.. and most of these applications are not rocket science.
Infact buying an ev for any guru here should just be like buying mtn solar sef.

Lol. I Just dey vex for here wey I dey. Make una no mind me. Wetin I sabi sef. This country don really condition our minds.

if i get 85m to spend on car, i no go dey DIY forum with you because i will never "do it myself" my money will do it for me.. Abeg find cheaper ones.

Them say tubular get resale value after the battery lifespan don finish, but lithium no get..

Penuelseun:
from the picture you posted, the bms is only detecting 14 cells instead of 16, did you tamper with the bms settings?

Can you please share me Tbb power systems .

Good afternoon to y’all great people on here
Can I use 16 piece of 625W with this inverter?
Two pairs of 8 in series and then parallel the two pairs together.

changan e star de for 33 million o... But na d same size with kia picanto.... About 20 units on ground.

Can I use 16 pieces of 625W jinko with this inverter? 8 in series twice and then parallel the two pairs of 8s together.

Though the pv Voc is unknown but I believe it should fall within the range of 51v to 53v, 8s2p config should be your best config.
Just as Dam5reey earlier said, I still suggest buying the hybrid inverter first and going through the manual before buying the pv will help us to know the best configuration that will yield better result for the system. Hybrid inverters are designed differently....

mctfopt:


Those two s you mentioned have Isc of more than 11A each which will exceed the yeye 5000ES Growatt's maximum PV input current of 22A

11A cannot give u 11A consider losses. Just do the two parallel end up getting near 18 to 19A. U guys that are doing this high voltage series should give us with inductive loads...how many Ac's were they able to power without battery during the day with 11 to 13A PV or more.

kristien4:

They are the same. The issue of lifespan can only be considered when you factor in maintenance culture, quality of products like Quanta and Full river batteries gotten from an authorized dealers and not from the Alaba boys.

Power is power, regardless of voltage/current split.

My inverter is limited to 13A, my PVs max out at 11.5A, but I don't think I've ever gotten more than 9A in the real world.

Still I run a 1 HP inverter AC in the afternoon comfortably without the inverter drawing any power from my battery.

Nice to hear this.
When we start buying the tokumbo versions, the charging stations will spread across other states.
Please give us update on the toks versions. I reject the bicycle version in totality.

but an electric car buyer, should first of all have a good means of charging the car.. that means lots of millions spent on an efficient solar setup!

u should start from electric bike na just like i did. i have a hummer type electric bike , with 48v 17.5ah lithuim battery, 60km/hr speed

I've done this before and it ended in tears. I did parallel Longi 450W with 11.60A Isc. The Growatt will be working fine until sun hits it's peak and it sees 22A and then enters into error mode and shut down after 3 minutes or so

This mini bus is very good for business/commercial purpose.
Please, update me when the price reduce to about $2000.

Get an ebike. A good Enduro ebike is around that price. Can do 120km/hr but be on the lookout for the average Nigerian road who suddenly crosses the road using only their ears to gauge if a vehicle is coming

Hybrid600:
This car no go wave go one side after Dangote truck speed am? 😁

Are there even charging stations for EV cars in 9ja Or na use of PV and NEPA?

I charge my 3 ebikes at home. Anyone who buys one will also charge at home.

this is the one door version, enviable transport launched the two door version as a taxi in abuja..but i never see even one for road.

I wanted to import some of this stuff but ended up buying an electric bike. Electric bike is the closest to this

Glad you later got one. This thing is a joy. Upgraded my battery to LiFePo4. No more drop in speed as experienced with Lion when the battery is getting low.
