In this article, we would be discussing a new discovery in the Nigerian Engineering Industry.

Fast cars and Electric vechiles have recently changed the game in Vechile production around the world as they  gradually shift from manufacturing vechiles operating on Internal Combustion engine (ICE) to Electric Vechiles(EV).

Internal Combustion engine works with a principle such that when air and fuel are compressed in the combustion chamber by the piston, ignition occours whereby pushing the piston downwards as a result of the pressure produced. 

The  position linear motion in accordance with other pistons in the top cylinder is converted into rotary motion of the crankshaft which helps in the rotation of the Vechile wheels.

Electric Vechiles on the other hand uses the principle of Magnetism. Rotating magnets driven by alternating current(AC)  through cores of wires is what drives electric cars. 

An EV uses an inverter which helps to convert the direct current from the well arranged set of batteries into alternating current.

1. ICE Vechile uses fuel while an EV uses battery as it power source.

2. ICE Vechiles produces rotary motion through combustion of fuel in the upper cylinder while an       EV produces rotary motion directly.

3. ICE Vechiles causes air pollution while EV's are environmental friendly.

4. ICE Vechiles are generally more expensive than EV's.

Phoenix Renewables converts petrol mini buses into electric vechiles. They rip out the combustion engine of these mini buses and replace them with solar panels and batteries. How fantastic !

This mini buses can cover 100km on a single charge. It currently has only one charging station powered by a solar system.

Vechiles maintenance is done every two weeks. This is carried out by technicians to ensure that the batteries are well tight and monitor battery durability.

Phoenix Renewables is working on manufacturing a 12 seater battery powered commercial bus. This model will be built from stratch. It will be able to cover up to 200km when fully charged. The materials to be used will be sourced in Nigeria.

Hyundai Kona is an high efficient electric Vechile fully assembled in Nigeria. It was was lanuched in Lagos Nigeria in the year 2020 by the stallion group. Since 2020 till present, Hyundai Kona has been fully operational with a well equipped assembly plant in Lagos. 

This  Electric Vechile comes with a unique futuristic design, easy handling and easy to use features and  can cover up to 482km on one full charge. 

The main challenge facing the use of electric Vechiles in Nigeria is poor electricity supply. Since the number of EV's in Nigeria are still limited, there are also few charging points. To curb this  futuristic problem, more charging points are been built around the different geopolitical zones in the country. 

The fast advancement of Nigeria on EV's will definitely put her on the spot light in few years to come.
