The City of Cape Town has expanded its dedication towards an electric future by erecting its second electric vehicle (EV) charging station. Situated in the Somerset West Civic Centre's parking area, the station is part of the City's continuous effort to enhance Cape Town's readiness for the full influx of electric vehicles in the future.
The City's Mayoral Committee Member for Energy and Climate Change, Councillor Phindile Maxiti, said: "This kind of proactive response to climate change will assist our City's recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic over the coming years as the green economy offers new opportunities for businesses and jobseekers. It also helps to ensure that the local economy can continue to trade competitively in a global world that is rapidly rejecting carbon-intensive goods and services. It is important that South Africa is not left behind and that we remain relevant to markets."
