Electric Vehicle maker, Saglev reveal plans to commence operations at its advanced EV assembly plant in Lagos.

Says its fully charged EV can go up to 300km on a single charge – equivalent to driving from Oshodi to Ajah ten times.

Highlights the merits of electric vehicles, including its affordability, less maintenance and costs less to charge.





Saglev Electric Cars, a pioneer in the Nigerian Electric Vehicle (EV) market, has revealed plans to commence operations at its advanced EV assembly plant in Lagos, later this year.

Speaking at a press conference held in Lagos to highlight the merits of electric vehicles, Saglev’s CEO, Sam Faleye, said that “electric vehicles are actually affordable. needs less maintenance, costs less to charge, and does not require fueling.”

Considering the rising price of petrol, Dr. Faleye revealed that one of three SAGLEV electric vehicles on display during the launch is even cheaper than a brand new Toyota Camry.

“In the area of affordability, it will shock you to note that one of our brand-new EVs on display goes for around N18-N20m. Comparatively, a new Toyota Camry costs about N40m. The cost-effectiveness of EVs is striking, especially considering the rising petrol prices.”

On drive range, he noted that a fully charged EV can cover up to 300 kilometers on a single charge, which he said was equivalent to driving from Oshodi to Ajah ten times.





“So, you really do not need to charge your car every day; all you require is to charge the car about once or twice per week. It also takes about 4 hours with a level two charger to fully charge a car, and this can be done while you sleep.”

Saglev’s CEO further disclosed that plans are underway to roll out Electric Vehicle charging stations at every Enyo and Ardova Petrol Station across the country, where electric vehicles can be charged.
