The narrator urged petrol car users to consider converting their cars to electric, adding that it cuts carbon emissions and combat climate change.
A station, where the minibus was charging, advertised the charging rate at an economical N150 per kilowatt, emphasising the cost-effectiveness of converting to electric-powered vehicles.
A man identified as @charleyman8 shared more information about the charging capabilities of the converted minibus in a fresh video.
According to him, the vehicle can take a significant charge per session, allowing it to run for seven to eight hours at a time.
