1. Why Electrification Matters Now

CadMoto Limited under Cardinal Automobile Drive is spearheading Nigeria’s shift towards electric vehicles (EVs), including electric tricycles, golf carts, UTVs, and ATVs. With lithium-ion battery-powered “keke” tricycles boasting up to 10 hours on a single charge, the emphasis on range and endurance challenges typical perceptions of EV limitations.

2. CadMoto’s Vision: From Dealer to Domestic Assembler

CadMoto began by importing ATVs/EVs but has laid plans to assemble locally, forging partnerships in China for localized engine and parts production. This is a strategic pivot to enhance affordability, boost local employment, and build resilience against currency fluctuations and shipping costs.

3. Electric ATVs & Trikes Built for Nigerian Terrain

CadMoto’s EV offerings the electric tricycle and full-size ATVs are tailored to Nigeria’s unique environment. Designed for rugged roads, farms, estates, and beaches, these vehicles feature digital dashboards, hydraulic brakes, and fast charging (about 45 minutes for 10-hour battery life) (cadmoto.com).

4. Eco-Friendly & Cost-Efficient Benefits

• Zero Emissions: Significantly reduces noise and air pollution—an advantage in crowded and sensitive areas (cadmoto.com).
