With over 25 years of experience in the Nigerian automotive market, Kia Nigeria, under the leadership of Jacky Hathiramani, is expanding its legacy into the EV sector. The company is making significant investments in mobility infrastructure, local vehicle assembly, and flexible ownership models designed to accelerate EV adoption across the country.

"The future of mobility in Nigeria will be driven by innovation, sustainability, and accessibility. At Kia Nigeria, we are focused on making electric vehicles and cleaner mobility solutions more practical and accessible for Nigerians," said Jacky Hathiramani. As fuel prices continue to affect transportation and business operations, EVs are becoming a more attractive option due to their lower running and maintenance costs.

Furthermore, its modern assembly facility in Lagos contributes to local production, job creation, skills development, and technology transfer within Nigeria's automotive industry.

Beyond manufacturing, Kia Nigeria is addressing vehicle ownership affordability through flexible finance schemes, making it easier for Nigerians to acquire new vehicles, including EVs.
