Green Charging Solutions, a leading Nigerian energy firm, has announced a major investment in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure to reduce the country’s reliance on petrol and diesel, the company’s founder, Tobi Angel, revealed in Abuja.
Angel explained that the initiative aims to promote a cleaner and more cost-effective transport system powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels. He highlighted that electric vehicles using renewable and grid electricity provide a viable alternative to conventional fuel-powered transportation.
Brandspur Brand News reports that Green Charging Solutions is rolling out EV charging stations across Nigeria’s major cities and transport corridors, establishing a supportive ecosystem for electric mobility. Angel emphasised that transportation accounts for a large portion of national fuel consumption, and the adoption of EVs will gradually reduce petrol and diesel demand while stabilising transport costs for both individuals and businesses.
An energy expert commenting on the initiative noted that investing in EV infrastructure could shield Nigeria from global oil price shocks, often caused by geopolitical tensions. Reliance on domestically generated electricity, including solar power, would lessen the country’s dependence on imported refined fuels, strengthen energy security, and make logistics costs more predictable for businesses.
Angel further highlighted Nigeria’s abundant sunshine and growing electricity generation capacity as critical advantages for transitioning to electric mobility. He added that expanding EV infrastructure would deliver environmental benefits, including lower carbon emissions and improved air quality, while also creating green jobs and driving innovation in the energy sector.
He called for urgent collaboration among government agencies, private investors, and other stakeholders to accelerate the development of charging networks, incentives, and supportive policies for EV adoption. “Governments, private companies, and investors must work together to build a robust electric mobility ecosystem,” Angel said.
An Abuja-based EV owner, Benjamin Ayodele, welcomed the investment, noting that rising global fuel prices make electric mobility not just an environmental choice but an economic necessity. “Electric vehicles are essential in a world where oil supply disruptions can push petrol prices beyond ordinary citizens’ reach,” he said.
The move by Green Charging Solutions marks a significant step in Nigeria’s transition toward sustainable transportation and reflects the growing interest in clean energy solutions across the country.
