EN1 Technologies has announced plans to begin the production of solar-powered vehicles in Nigeria and other African countries.

According toEN1 Technologies, choices were made to change the automotive industry in Africa by fostering the growth of solar-powered vehicles.

Onomor Benjamin, the chief executive officer of EN1 Technologies, made this known to the media on Monday.

While explaining the motive for the initiative, Benjamin mentioned that the lack of stable electricity remained a major deterring factor for many people looking to buy and use electric cars on the continent.

He explained further, “Charging stations do not adequately solve this problem because it takes an average of 45 minutes to fully charge an electric vehicle at a charging station. This feels like a lifetime compared to the time required to refuel a petrol-powered car, not to mention the high cost of setting up charging stations across the continent.

“To address this issue, the team at EN1 is building a production-level car that does not require a charge from an electrical power outlet for months, thereby, eliminating the need for stable electricity in every country the company ships its cars into.”

The firm noted that powered by the sun with detailed and well-engineered solar cells fused into the frunk, hood, and trunk of the car, the EN1 ULTRA generates its power of up to 50 km of range daily without any additional form of charging.

“On a full charge, the Ultra provides a range of up to 605 km, making it the perfect car for daily commuting and long road trips. The Ultra’s advanced charging technology makes it possible for it to be charged at home or while on the go.

“This solution is particularly important for countries like Nigeria, which do not have stable electricity. With the solar option, EN1 hopes that you never have to charge the car for months from an electrical outlet.”

According to Benjamin, the EN1 ULTRA is not just about sustainability and innovation, but it is also about style and comfort.
