‘Will there be space to hang a small generator?’ — Nigerians react to 2018 introduction of electric cars
On Thursday, Nigus Enfinity, an indigenous firm, announced that it will introduce electric vehicles into the Nigerian automobile market in 2018.
Malik Ado-Ibrahim, chairman of the company, made this known to journalists in an interactive session which held in Abuja.
Nigerians on social media had a lot to say about the proposed plan, especially as the country continues to grapple with stable power supply.
Here are some reactions from Twitter and Facebook

Obviously Nigerian market will not be too good for electric cars, it still struggles to get 3000MW of power supply. https://t.co/4FlIcAfgrB
