Nigeria’s electric vehicle (EV) market is set to receive a major boost with the recent partnership between Siltech, an e-mobility ecosystem development leader, and Solad, a distributed energy provider. The collaboration aims to expand charging infrastructure across the country, giving Nigerians better access to clean energy and faster charging for electric vehicles.

Tolu Williams, founder of Siltech, expressed excitement about the venture, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with Solad to advance electric mobility solutions and improve charging infrastructure across Nigeria. This will help drive the country toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.”

This partnership comes at a time when the Nigerian government has set ambitious goals for the adoption of electric vehicles. By 2025, the government aims to have 30% of vehicles on the road be electric, spurred by incentives such as import duty exemptions for EVs and solar-powered charging stations. The move aligns with Nigeria’s larger efforts to reduce carbon emissions and shift away from its dependency on oil.

Solad, which specializes in clean, affordable energy solutions for underserved communities, echoed Siltech’s enthusiasm. “We’re excited to support Siltech with solar power services for their EV charging infrastructure at soon-to-be-announced locations,” the company shared via Instagram.

In line with this vision, Siltech has launched the Siltech Jupiter J60, a fast-charging EV station capable of delivering up to 60kW of power per connector. This innovative solution aims to solve one of the major challenges EV owners in Nigeria face—limited charging infrastructure.

“Jupiter J60 is perfect for commercial spaces, designed to meet modern demands,” Williams explained. “The future is now. We’re calling on businesses to partner with us in advancing EV adoption by installing our charging infrastructure.”

Despite these advances, challenges remain. Nigeria’s electricity supply remains unreliable, with frequent power outages and load shedding. For EV owners, this presents a hurdle as consistent access to electricity is crucial for charging batteries. There is also resistance to EV adoption due to the country’s heavy reliance on oil.

To address some of these issues, Siltech recently opened its Siltech E-Box station in Lekki, Lagos, offering users not only a place to charge their vehicles but also the option to swap batteries, purchase EVs, and receive technical support.

The Nigerian electric vehicle market, though small, is projected to grow significantly. According to 6Wresearch, the market size is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57.9% between 2024 and 2030. Environmental concerns, coupled with the government’s drive toward sustainable energy, are key factors pushing this growth.
