The Solar Bus Revolution Begins In Nigeria
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The world's first 100% solar bus fleet is up and running in Nigeria. Charging from the plentiful sun over Maiduguri, Phoenix Renewables is running a regular service that is not only clean and quiet on the roads, but also cheaper for passengers. Self-made entrepreneur Mustapha Gajibo's vision goes beyond electrifying gasoline-powered buses and boosting the local economy. He wants cities around the world to benefit from the technology. REV went to see what an impact the solar-powered buses are having in the Maiduguri region, which has suffered from years of instability and terrorism.

No he doesn't need the government they will stall his growth, he needs serious investors and a push from the society, its high time we should divorce our mind and progress with the government.

He needs investors with capital but they would hesitate because the region is extremely Islamic and anti-progress.

@@guda12I agree with you but the guy is in a region of Islamic extremism and anti-progress. Do you notice how the women are forced to conceal their appearance? I thought I was looking at Afghanistan. Really depressing.

Good point @vivahollandia32. In this case we are discussing clean mass transit options, ie how to boost public transport and move away from individual car use.

So a place that most people don't have clean drinking water and you worry about their transportation, worry about your own yard....
😊😊😊😊. Where is his business now ? We better be realistic. This guy ain’t going far without cash. And to be more realistic, the ultimate focus should be on battery innovation because that’s the most expensive part of an electric car.
How do one reach you great talent?
This is almost identical to the Mitsubishi Minicab Miev that is Electric out of the factory first made about a decade ago I am interested in them because they are small and light with a small battery pack which means they can be practically charged at home on solar. Im not interested in an electric car that costs 70 grand and weighs 3 tonne that needs an 80kw battery to haul its fat ass around, these little trucks have a 15kw battery from the factory that can easily be upgraded to 30kw and then have a range of 300km. These are the answer until battery density go up and costs come down for the next decade or so....
How would l get one of the mini bus
