Abstract
In Nigeria, a developing country and prominent oil producer, the transition towards electric vehicle adoption is unfolding amidst unique challenges. This study addresses crucial research gaps concerning Electric vehicle adoption in developing nations, with Nigeria as a focal point. Through interviews with 31 experts, we have uncovered a landscape filled with challenges and opportunities. The hurdles include a scarcity of charging infrastructure, a heavy reliance on fossil fuels, affordability issues, and unequal access to energy. On the bright side, there are prospects for cost savings backed by government support, adaptable manufacturers, and the potential for renewable energy utilisation. We propose comprehensive awareness campaigns to fast-track electric vehicle adoption, expanding charging infrastructure, government-driven policies, and integrating localised technology, specifically focusing on last-mile transport. Our study contributes valuable insights into Electric vehicle adoption in developing countries, offering theoretical and practical implications for sustainable transportation solutions.
