Tavet Garent; Preview

The Tavet Garent, an EV focused brand from Nord Automobiles, is a bold statement in Africa’s EV landscape. Tavet positions the Garent as “Premium electric sophistication”, blending luxury with cutting-edge EV technology and sleek, futuristic styling, with a focus on minimal drag and modern aesthetics. 

It is designed to combine luxury, performance, and sustainability in a package that rivals global leaders while being tailored for African conditions, adapting electric mobility solutions to the continent’s unique needs (infrastructure, climate, and logistics). 








Chassis

4-door saloon with 5 seats

Dimensions: 4,880mm x 1,895mm x 1,460mm 

Wheelbase: 2,915mm 

Suspension: Mcpherson (Front), Multi-link (rear)







Powertrain 

The Garent is offered as a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)/Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV). EREVs carry a small internal combustion engine (ICE) which do not power the wheels but only serve to charge the batteries, sort of like a mobile generator. This helps to eliminate the range anxiety often associated with BEVs. 

Different trims will be offered either with either single or dual motors setups generating 400kw in its most powerful configuration. There are no specific details of the range extender yet. 

- Power Output: 160kw (214hp) / 200kw (268hp) / 400 kW (536 hp)

- Acceleration (0–100 km/h): 6.8s / 5.8s / 3.9s

- Range: 530km / 620km / 540km

- Top Speed: 165km/h

- Battery: 56.83kWh, 70.26kWh

- Range: 200km (batteries only), 1200km (with range extender)

- Aerodynamics: A drag coefficient of 0.209 Cd, retractable spoiler and aero wheels.


Comfort and Cabin

The centre console has a 15.6-inch Central Touch Display for navigation and entertainment (no info on CarPlay or Android Auto) and an 8.8-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, both hopefully smooth due to the presence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 processor.  

The cabin is kept comfortable by a multi zone climate control system while a 20 – speaker WANOS sounds system comes as standard.

The seats are wrapped up in leatherette and should be comfortable enough for its intended premium class. No info available on heating, cooling or massaging capabilities. 

Optional scissor doors are offered, although there’s no information if this is available for all doors or just the front doors. 


Safety Features

- Airbags

- Lane keeping assist, 

- Automatic emergency braking

- Adaptive cruise control

No crash ratings available

The Garent’s announced long range and quick acceleration make it not just a practical EV, but also a thrilling one. If Tavet delivers on interior quality and charging infrastructure, the Garent could redefine premium electric mobility in emerging markets. It is a daring step by Nord Automobiles in today's shriniking saloon market as more saloons get replaced by SUVs, a recent casualty being the Toyota Avalon.

Battery Sensor

Many modern cars have a battery current sensor. It might also be called a battery management or monitor sensor, or simply battery sensor. Typically, a battery sensor is installed on the negative battery terminal or on the cable. It might be installed on the positive terminal. Some cars have two sensors, one on each terminal.   A BMW battery sensor How the battery sensor works: it measures the current to and from the battery. It may also monitor the voltage, state of charge and state of health of the battery (aging). In some cars, it even measures the temperature of the battery. The vehicle computer (Body control module BCM or Powertrain control module PCM) uses these inputs to precisely adjust the charging system voltage, idle speed and other parameters for better fuel efficiency and longer battery life. This system is called Power or Battery Management System or BMS. If the system detects that the battery is getting weak, it may turn off some electrical accessories (load shedding)...

Nigeria to Become Africa’s Electric Vehicle Hub Through Landmark Deal with South Korea

In a move that signals a new industrial era, the Federal Government of Nigeria has entered into a strategic partnership with South Korea’s Asia Economic Development Committee (AEDC). Signed on January 30, 2026, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Federal Government and South Korea’s Asia Economic Development Committee (AEDC) marks a turning point for clean energy in Africa.  The deal, signed by the Minister of State for Industry, Trade, and Investment, Senator John Owan-Enoh, and AEDC Chairman Yoon Suk-hun, aims to transform Nigeria into the continent’s leader for clean mobility by establishing the first full-scale Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant in Africa.  Breaking: Nigeria to Become Africa’s Electric Vehicle Hub Through Landmark Deal with South Korea The Blueprint 1. The Numbers: Jobs, Vehicles, and Value  This collaboration transcends mere assembly; it is a commitment to full-scale, high-capacity manufacturing. The projections for the new facil...
