Hybrid cars in Nigeria

I once told a friend of mine that I saw an electric car at Maryland area of Lagos and he said I was lying. His argument was there is no way anybody in Nigeria would buy an electric car because we do not have constant electricity so how would they charge it for eight hours when the battery is low? And how come is always the one that sees this entire thing with no one to be my witness?
Now the car I saw at Maryland that day was a Honda insight which is a hybrid car and that means I was half right and my friend was wrong because a hybrid means the combination of two things so the car I saw is powered by both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. That means an electric car is in Nigeria regardless of the power situation.
Now how does the electric part of the car get charged to full power when it’s low? That’s the beauty of a hybrid it charges itself so you do not need constant electricity or wait up to eight hours for it to be completely charged.
HOW HYBRID CARS WORK
There are different types of hybrid and I do not want to behave like Mr. know it all so I had to go Wikipedia and Ehow to know more about hybrid cars and I got this below
Petroleum Fuel Engine Assistance
This model of hybrid relies mainly on its internal combustion engine, with the electric motor being capable of only low speeds. Typically, this model will use the electric motor when idling, and then use it to accelerate up to about 20 or 25 mph. Then, the gasoline-powered engine will be automatically started and take over for providing propulsive power. The Toyota Prius is an example of this type of hybrid.
Electric Engine Assistance
This model of hybrid uses a lower power internal combustion engine, geared around maximum fuel efficiency. In order to achieve extra power for things like climbing hills or hard acceleration, the car has an electric motor which kicks in to provide the added power. Honda hybrids work on this principle.
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)
This Hybrid model is an attempt to circumvent the limits on a purely electric, battery-driven car. It relies entirely on its battery for motive power during the first several dozen miles of driving. When the battery is exhausted, the internal combustion engine on board is then used to either recharge the battery, or for a short trip to a recharging station.
