Africa’s largest electric vehicle (EV) player, Spiro, has announced the official launch of its operations in Nigeria. The landmark expansion marks a pivotal moment in the electric mobility landscape of Nigeria’s largest economy.
With more than 18,000 electric motorbikes already deployed across sub-Saharan Africa, Spiro’s strategic expansion into Nigeria will see its presence in up to eight of Nigeria’s major provinces, including Abeokuta, Ibadan, Lagos, and Abuja.
This dedicated effort aims to electrify the nation’s mobility, substantially reducing carbon emissions while promoting environmental sustainability and enhancing the quality of life for Nigerians.
In Africa, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation are growing at a rate of 7% each year. Air pollution is the second biggest killer across the continent, associated with heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.
Around 1.1 million people die prematurely from air pollution in Africa each year. The switch to electric motorbikes reduces air pollution in major cities.
Spiro’s unique model is centered around battery swapping, allowing riders to use Spiro’s swapping stations, fast and slow chargers, and home charging solutions – a flexible solution to ensure the delivery of energy when and where our customers need it.
State of Charge (SoC) technology significantly enhances the Spiro riding experience, offering a seamless, efficient, and environmentally friendly mode of transport.
The company’s expansion is further supported by strategic partnerships that have accelerated the growth of Spiro’s charging network.
This network expansion is pivotal in making EVs a viable option for more people, contributing to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development.
In Nigeria, Spiro has already announced strategic partnerships with Max, Dot, and Onocon, who share our vision for a cleaner and healthier world, where riders have access to affordable and reliable transportation and cutting-edge technology.
