E-Trans-Electric Mobility and Transition in Nigeria | Strategy and Implementation

Nigeria devotes significant funds to subsidise transportation but, unfortunately, this funding serves precisely to discourage the development of e-mobility. The subsidisation of petrol discourages the take-up of alternative vehicles such as electric minibuses, two-wheelers (E2W) and three-wheelers (E3W). Regulations to enact policies will also need to be developed, mostly at federal level, adapting the tax regime and permission framework for importing new and used vehicles, and instating new framework drawing from international experience as for safe storage, recycling and disposal of batteries and e-waste associated with e-vehicles. The objective of the study is to facilitate dialogue on urban and rural clean energy e-mobility strategies that reduce air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and health and economic impacts of mobility in Nigeria.
