South African new-vehicle buyers will have a choice of about 20 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 2023. This is a significant jump from the current four models available in local showrooms.

SA jumps on bandwagon: worldwide EV sales grow by 41% during global pandemic By Pritesh Ruthun Share JOHANNESBURG – South Africa ranked fifth globally in the ratio of public electric vehicle (EV) chargers to electric vehicles in 2020. Only Korea, Chile, Mexico, Indonesia and the Netherlands have more chargers per EV than SA, according to the IEA Global EV Outlook 2021 report released recently. February 2021 saw BEV (battery-electric vehicle) registrations overtake those of PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) registrations locally. The milestone marks the advancements of battery technology in the EV space and growing local consumer confidence in the range offered in newer generation BEV’s with less reliance on ICE (internal combustion engine) hybrid technology.
