About 24% of the carbon emissions under consideration in Nigeria are produced annually by the transport sector, and 72% of these emissions are produced by passenger cars.
Possible EVS is getting ready to introduce Nigeria’s first fleet of electric taxis in a ground-breaking step toward environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation.
The business has big aspirations to extend its initial fleet of 30 units to over 200 electric taxis across major Nigerian cities by the middle of 2024, transforming public transportation in the nation.
Specifically created for passenger transportation, these electric taxis will offer last-mile options for both intra- and inter-city travel, providing commuters with a practical and responsible alternative.
Additionally, the fleet will offer shared travel choices, guaranteeing affordable and effective mobility for customers without the inconvenience of surge pricing.
Electric taxis release no emissions, in contrast to conventional combustion engine taxis, which helps to create a cleaner and greener metropolitan environment.
By tackling the urgent problems of climate change and air pollution, the introduction of electric taxis is in line with the global shift toward sustainable mobility solutions.
The electric taxi fleet of Possible EVS seeks to enhance rather than replace the country’s current transportation options.
The firm wants to spread knowledge about the advantages of electric cars and promote the adoption of sustainable transportation methods in the nation by offering a more environmentally friendly substitute.
Speaking on the novel transportation system, CEO and founder of Possible EVS,Mosope Olaosebikan, said: “As a socially responsible and forward-thinking organization, we’re thrilled to lead this transformative journey.
We believe our pioneering efforts will inspire other players in the transportation industry to embrace sustainable practices and contribute to a cleaner, greener, and more prosperous Nigeria.”
To support the operation of the electric taxis, Possible EVS will establish charging stations across Abuja, serving as a pilot program for future expansion.
These charging stations will ensure that the electric taxis have access to reliable and convenient charging infrastructure, enabling seamless operations and reducing any concerns about range anxiety.
With the introduction of Nigeria’s first electric taxi fleet, Possible EVS sets a promising example for the nation and the African continent as a whole, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of electric mobility. As the fleet expands and more electric taxis hit the streets, Nigeria’s urban areas will witness a positive transformation in terms of reduced emissions, improved air quality, and enhanced passenger experiences.
Possible EVS’s electric taxi initiative not only contributes to Nigeria’s sustainable development goals but also aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and create a more sustainable future for all. As the nation embraces electric mobility, Possible EVS leads the way in driving the transition toward a cleaner and greener transportation ecosystem.
“Nigerians can look forward to a seamless and comfortable commuting experience”, said Mosope.
“Our vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art features, including spacious interiors, advanced safety systems, and user-friendly technology, and our plans to install fast-charging infrastructure across key locations will ensure convenient access to charging stations and minimize any concerns about range anxiety.”
Possible With its commitment to sustainability, innovative solutions, and a vision for a cleaner future, Possible EVS is poised to revolutionize public transportation and pave the way for a greener Nigeria.
