By The Everlasting EV Editorial · Updated 24 July 2026

The full journey from sign-up to delivery typically takes 10–18 working days.

Buying an electric vehicle in Nigeria used to mean weeks of guesswork. On The Everlasting EV it is a predictable, seven-step process — and every step is visible in your dashboard in real time.

Step 1: Create your account (free)

Sign up in under 60 seconds using email or Google. No card required at this stage.

Step 2: Activate for a one-time ₦5,000

The activation fee unlocks financing pre-qualification, insurance quotes and reservation access. It is charged once, ever.

Step 3: Complete the EV Readiness Assessment

A short questionnaire generates your personalised EV Readiness Score, a vehicle shortlist and a monthly-payment range you can afford comfortably.

The Readiness Score matches you to vehicles that fit your income, commute and living arrangement.

Step 4: Choose your vehicle

Compare CIG, GAC Aion Y, Wuling and more side-by-side. Book a physical test drive at our Victoria Island gallery or request a home demo in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt.

Step 5: Apply for EasyPay financing

One application is sent to Stanbic IBTC, Access Bank and UBA. Decisions typically land within 5–7 working days. You accept the best offer.

Step 6: Insurance and home-charger scheduling

Motor insurance, battery cover and home-charger installation are all activated inside the platform — no third-party scavenging.

Step 7: Delivery

Your vehicle is delivered to your address, fully registered, insured and charged. A member of our team walks you through every feature before handing over the key.
