Nigerian-American businessman, Dr Osayande Aghaze, has revolutionised the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry with his groundbreaking invention, the detachable EV solar charger.

This innovative device, set to be available to the public from Wednesday, January 1, 2025, according to him, was not only designed to alleviate the crippling fuel crisis in Nigeria, and other parts of Africa, but to promote a greener ecosystem.

“The fuel crisis in Nigeria has reached a breaking point and it is time for a sustainable and affordable solution. The detached EV solar charger offers a viable alternative to fossil fuels, providing Nigerians with a cleaner,greener, and more cost-effective way to power their vehicles,” he said.

Beyond providing relief to motorists burdened by soaring fuel prices, he explained that the detachable EV solar charger also contributes to a healthier planet.

According to him, by reducing reliance on fossil fuels, the device helps to mitigate climate change and improve air quality. “Our goal is to empower Nigerians and others, to take control of their energy consumption while also making a positive impact on the environment. By harnessing the power of the sun, the solar charger provides a reliable and independent source of electricity that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.”

Explaining its functionality, he said it is a portable device that can be used to charge EVs anywhere, from homes to remote locations; adding that the device’s solar panels efficiently capture sunlight and convert it into clean energy, reducing reliance on the traditional power grid.

“We believe that this invention has the potential to transform transportation systems. By making EVs more accessible and affordable, we can contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable future,” he added.

While noting that vehicles powered by the detached EV solar charger will have extended mileage and range, he maintained that the device will promote a greener and healthier planet.
