NNPCL To Install Electric Vehicle Charging Ports Across Its Filling Stations Nationwide
NNPCL set to install charging ports across its filling stations to aid quick adoption of Electric Vehicles in Nigeria.
Disclosed plans to invest into a Maiduguri-based start-up company that is into renewables and electric vehicles.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced plans to install Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across its filling stations nationwide.
To meet local demands for Electric Vehicles, the NNPCL also disclosed it plans to invest into a Maiduguri-based start-up company that is into renewables and electric vehicles.
The Managing Director of NNPC New Energy Ltd, Kanayochukwu Odoe, made this known in NNPCL’s latest quarterly publication released Monday.
The NNPC New Energy Ltd is the subsidiary of NNPCL. Speaking on its plans in promoting the use of electric vehicles in NIgeria, Odoe said :
“There are two things we are looking at. There is a start-up from Maiduguri that is into renewables and electric vehicles. It’s a Nigerian start-up.
“We are currently discussing with them to expand their capacity to meet local demand in Nigeria. It’s something I believe we should invest in not just because it’s our own, but also because they are doing something that hasn’t been done before, at least, in this part of the world. So, when we invest in the company, we can have a foothold in the electric vehicles market.
“The next part will be how to provide access to charging ports for the electric vehicles. We have NNPC Retail stations scattered around Nigeria, we are currently having a discussion on how to install charging points in the stations to serve electric vehicles. These are some of the things we are doing in that area.”
