Possible EVS has announced that it will be unveiling Africa’s First Multi-brand Electric Vehicle Experience Centre (EVEC) to bridge the knowledge gap and drive widespread adoption of Electric vehicles in the country. The company will showcase leading electric vehicle brands like Tesla, BMW, among others.
According to the firm, the centre is expected to serve as a platform for Nigerians to discover the advantages of electric mobility, and play an essential role in helping the country achieve its goal of net zero emissions by 2060.
It will also give visitors the unique opportunity to explore, learn about, and test-drive the newest models from renowned brands, gaining firsthand experience of the exceptional performance, cutting-edge technology, and environmental benefits of electric vehicles.
Speaking on the unveiling, Mosope Olaosebikan, Founder of the Discovery Museum and Possible EVS, in a statement, noted that they had seen a tremendous increase in electric vehicle adoption globally, and thought it was the right time for Nigeria.
He said, “With adequate support from the government and stakeholders, we expect Nigeria’s electric vehicle numbers to rise to one million by 2028.
“The introduction of electric vehicles will surely raise numerous questions in the minds of Nigerians. EVEC is dedicated to bridging the knowledge gap and providing comprehensive education. The EVEC team will be available to answer questions, guide visitors through the intricacies of electric vehicle ownership, and demonstrate how the technology works.
“Whether it’s showing visitors how EVs are charged, debunking common misconceptions and anxiety about range, or discussing the economic and environmental benefits, EVEC will be the ultimate site for Nigerians seeking clarity and reliable information,” the CEO remarked.
“We hope to make EVEC an answer to everyone who has doubts as to whether electric cars are possible in an energy-poor country like Nigeria,” he concluded.
This initiative aligns well with the Federal Government’s National Automotive Design and Development (NADD) plan to make 30% of its cars electric by 2025.
