Five EV charging firms reshaping Nigeria’s mobility future

Nigeria’s electric mobility market is gradually gaining momentum, but its success depends on the availability of places to charge rather than the number of vehicles or motorcycles sold.

Recognising this gap, a growing number of companies are rolling out charging infrastructure for wider EV adoption and a new segment of the country’s transport ecosystem.

As the country pursues cleaner mobility solutions, conversations around EVs, coupled with the entry of more brands into the Nigerian market, are accelerating the country’s shift towards electric mobility, thereby creating the demand for charging infrastructure.

According to 6Wresearch, Nigeria’s electric vehicle market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.8 percent between 2025 and 2031.

However, the pace of that growth will depend not only on the number of electric vehicles entering the market but also on the availability of reliable charging infrastructure.

While automakers focus on bringing electric vehicles to the market, charging operators are investing in the ecosystem that will determine how quickly the transition scales.

In a country where unreliable electricity remains one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption, these firms are deploying charging infrastructure, expanding access across key locations and creating new opportunities for investment, jobs and innovation along the electric mobility value chain.

According to experts, without an extensive network of charging stations, concerns over driving range, charging convenience and power reliability could continue to slow adoption, making infrastructure investment a critical pillar of Nigeria’s electric mobility ambitions.

In no particular order, here are five EV charging firms reshaping Nigeria’s mobility future.

Quoray Mobility and Energies Limited

Quoray, a clean energy-powered mobility solution firm, is the first company to establish a publicly accessible commercial Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station in Nigeria.

Founded by Olabanjo Alimi, the company has a comprehensive network of EV battery-swap and charging stations, designed not only to effectively charge the company’s vehicles but also other brands of EVs.

The company offers cost-effective, reliable products like its charging station, which offers Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), the basic unit of EV charging infrastructure that accesses power from the local electricity supply, utilising a control system and wired connection to safely charge EVs.

Qorays charging stations are located at several locations in Lagos, including 235/241 Ikorodu Road, Ilupeju, Sheraton Hotel Ikeja, Jara Mall Ikeja, Marriott Hotel GRA, Ikeja, Federal Palace Hotel Victoria Island, 20 Marina Road and Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island, with swap stations in Ilorin, Niger, Adamawa, Kano.

NEV Electric

NEV Electric, founded by Mosope Olaosebikan, is actively building a nationwide charging network, rolling out high-capacity 160kW fast chargers in major urban corridors like Lagos and Abuja.

As one of Nigeria’s electric mobility companies, it has established charging hubs along key urban transport corridors, with a focus on Abuja and Lagos.

NEV Electric charging stations are among the largest in the country, designed specifically to reduce range anxiety for fleet operators transitioning to clean, zero-emission mass transit.

The company combines local vehicle assembly, fast-charging infrastructure, and innovative financing models to make electric mobility accessible at scale.

Roxettes Motors

Roxettes Motors, a subsidiary of the Roxettes Group, is a licensed vehicle manufacturer and assembler in Nigeria, specialised in electric, hybrid, and compressed natural gas (CNG) powered vehicles, reflecting its commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility across Africa.

The company has five charging stations across key locations in the country, including Lagos, Enugu, Imo, Anambra, and Abia.

They are specifically located at 1 Marina Street, Lagos Island, 10 Okpara Square, Enugu State, 89 Nwankwo Square, Orlu, Imo State, 23 Chuka Lane, Onitsha in Anambra State, and 78 Ifeoma Road, Aba, Abia State.

Nigus International

Nigus International is contributing to Nigeria’s transition to electric mobility through investments in EV charging infrastructure.

They introduced charging stations designed to support both private EV owners and commercial fleet operators, expanding the infrastructure needed to make electric vehicles more practical for everyday use.

Spiro

Spiro is also a player in Nigeria’s electric mobility ecosystem, reshaping the country’s transport sector by providing battery-swapping infrastructure, with a focus on electric motorcycles.

Rather than relying solely on conventional plug-in charging stations, the company has developed a network of battery swap stations that allows commercial riders to exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones in minutes.

Spiro currently operates over 100 battery-swapping stations, with plans to scale infrastructure to 2,000 stations nationwide.
