According to Osigwe, who test-drove the pioneering Innoson electric vehicle, the company is just getting started in its electric vehicle venture. While specific details such as pricing, production quantities, and commercial release dates remain undisclosed, Osigwe mentioned that the initial fleet of vehicles has already been sold out.
