Electric vehicles represent a strategic opportunity for South Africa’s economy, environment, and citizens:

Economic independence

By charging EVs with locally produced electricity, we keep money within our borders instead of sending billions to foreign oil producers. This strengthens our economy and improves our balance of payments.

Cost savings

Electric vehicles are significantly cheaper to “fuel” and maintain. The average South African driver can save up to 70% on operating costs compared to traditional vehicles. For businesses with vehicle fleets and car-owning families, these savings compound meaningfully over time.

Local energy production

South Africa has abundant sunshine and favourable conditions for ‘wind farming’. Pairing EVs with renewable energy creates a sustainable transportation ecosystem that leverages our natural advantages.
