A video shared by a Nigerian man featuring an electric bus converted from a traditional fuel engine has gone viral, capturing the attention of viewers. The video showcases the converted minibus parked in front of what appears to be a petrol filling station. However, instead of fuel, the vehicle is charging electrically, sparking excitement among onlookers. The video, which was posted by an individual passionate about promoting electric vehicles, features a voice behind the camera urging others to consider converting their petrol engines to electric in a bid to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. As the footage progresses, the charging process becomes evident. A charger is connected to the minibus, and it is inserted into a charging port situated conveniently on the side of the vehicle. Positioned in front of the station, a prominent board displays the charging rate at an affordable N150 per kilowatt, emphasizing the cost-effectiveness of transitioning to electric-powered vehicles. The sight of the converted minibus drew a curious crowd, with people gathering around to witness the innovative technology in action. Many onlookers took out their smartphones to record the event, sharing their excitement on social media platforms, further propagating the message of clean energy adoption.
