In a bid to make Nigeria greener and cleaner, the Federal Government has commissioned a solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Abuja.ย 

The initiative, led by the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology, was officially launched on Thursday in partnership with the Electric Motor Vehicle Company (EMVC).

The charging station, located at the headquarters of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), was built to serve as a blueprint for future sustainable energy projects. Minister of Innovation, Science, and Technology, Uche Nnaji, described the move as a big win in Nigeriaโ€™s transition to clean energy and a step towards reducing the countryโ€™s reliance on fossil fuels.

At the commissioning, Nnaji stressed the importance of this project in aligning with President Bola Tinubuโ€™s Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasises sustainability and innovation. He urged stakeholders to build on this initiative and ensure electric mobility is not just an experiment but a widespread reality in Nigeria.

โ€œThis project is more than just an infrastructure milestone; it is a testament to our nationโ€™s resolve to embrace technological advancement in energy and transportation,โ€ he stated.

Beyond reducing emissions, the government sees electric mobility as a means to cut fuel dependency and create jobs in the green economy. Nnaji reaffirmed the ministryโ€™s focus on developing policies that foster investment in sustainable transport and clean energy solutions.

Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, director-general of the ECN, highlighted the stationโ€™s advanced design, which allows it to operate using both solar photovoltaic (PV) energy and power from the national grid. He explained that the system includes a fast-charging feature that can fully power an electric vehicle in just 30 minutes.

โ€œThe facility is equipped with a 20-kilowatt lithium battery and a BVA intelligent inverter to ensure quick charging and ease of maintenance,โ€ Abdullahi said. He further noted that the project aligns with Nigeriaโ€™s climate commitments and clean energy policies, aiming for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Abdullahi commended the collaboration between the ECN and EMVC, recognising the latter as a pioneering force in Nigeriaโ€™s electric vehicle industry. He also expressed gratitude to the Minister for his leadership and support in making the project a reality.

The unveiling of the charging station aligns with the governmentโ€™s goal to promote EV adoption in Nigeria. However, challenges such as infrastructure development, affordability, and energy supply remain.ย 

Nnaji stressed the need for collaboration between the private sector and government agencies to scale up similar projects across the country.

โ€œThis is just the beginning. We must collectively work towards expanding this initiative across Nigeria, ensuring electric mobility is not just an idea but a practical solution,โ€ he added.
