Mr Ben Murray Bruce, the founder and owner of Silverbird Group, has called on the Federal Government to ban all petrol-powered cars by 2035.
Bruce made the call on Saturday when he announced his order for 2 Lucid Electric cars via a Twitter post.
He is known to constantly oppose the continuous reliance on fossil fuel. As a lawmaker, Bruce sponsored a bill for the ban of fossil powered vehicles.
The Commonsense advocate affirmed that the Lucid Car is better than Tesla.
Mr Ben Bruce ordered 2 Lucid Air vehicles and this made him the first Nigerian to purchase this luxury vehicle.
Senator Ben Bruce has always advocated for the use of an electric vehicle as this is not his first electric car, Ben Bruce also has a Kia Soul Electric car. He’s been very vocal about electric cars as when he was a Senator he proposed the bill but it was swept under the carpet by his colleagues.
In his tweet, he wrote: “In practising what I preach, I recently put a deposit on this yet to be manufactured Lucid Electric Car. Delivery is early next year. It’s capable of more miles per charge than a Tesla. An amazing machine. Nigeria should ban all combustion Engine cars by 2035.”
