In a strategic advancement for Nigeria’s electric vehicle ecosystem, clean technology firm Qoray has commissioned a new public charging station at the Federal Palace Hotel & Casino on Victoria Island, Lagos. This deployment marks a critical step in densifying the city’s EV infrastructure, offering a practical solution for drivers in one of its busiest commercial districts.
The station, now fully operational within the hotel premises, features three 60kWh dual-gun DC fast chargers. This configuration allows up to six vehicles to charge concurrently, achieving a 20–80% charge in approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Its location is strategically chosen to serve not only individual EV owners but also fleet operators and corporate mobility services navigating the Victoria Island and Ikoyi corridors, providing a secure and convenient charging hub.
Qoray Founder and CEO, Olabanjo Alimi, highlighted the company’s vision during the launch. “We are proud to bring Qoray’s clean energy solutions to a landmark location,” Alimi stated. “Our goal is to remove barriers to EV adoption by building reliable, accessible infrastructure where people work, stay, and connect. This station reflects our commitment to enabling cleaner, smarter mobility.” The initiative underscores a growing shift towards sustainable urban transportation, a topic of parallel importance to discussions on remote work platforms that facilitate greener business operations.
Anita Ibru, Executive Director of the Federal Palace Hotel & Casino, affirmed the partnership aligns with the hotel’s sustainability ethos. By integrating this technology, the venue enhances its guest experience while supporting broader environmental objectives. This move towards operational sustainability can be seen as part of a larger trend where organizations, much like entities managing significant portfolios such as the NSIA assets reach, are prioritizing long-term, responsible investments.
This expansion by Qoray arrives amid a national conversation on economic and infrastructural development, occurring alongside other significant organizational shifts, such as the recent Kuda Bank restructuring, and within a dynamic socio-political climate that engages groups like the Labour Party Obidients. The project stands as a tangible investment in modern infrastructure, contributing to a future of reduced emissions and enhanced energy security for Nigerian mobility.
