Marisa Lago, U.S. undersecretary of commerce for international trade, says Nigeria needs charging infrastructure to facilitate adoption of electric vehicles.

She spoke on Tuesday in Lagos at the electric vehicle hackathon organised by Microsoft’s innovation hub, known as ‘The Garage’.

She, however, described the situation as a a chicken-and-egg conundrum since companies are not likely to invest in charging infrastructure until there is a critical mass of EV drivers.She added that individuals would equally be reluctant to buy EVs until there is a reasonable recharging infrastructure.
