Public-Private Partnerships – Collaboration between private companies, government agencies, and international investors is necessary to fund infrastructure projects and develop a long-term strategy for EV growth. The Road Ahead South Africa’s efforts to develop its EV infrastructure are commendable, but significant work remains.
South Africa, which boasts the most advanced e-mobility market in SSA, only had approximately 1000 EVs in circulation in 2022, out of a total fleet of 12 million vehicles . Kenya, on the other hand, had an estimated 350 EVs, with around 2.2 million registered vehicles in use across the country .
From an energy perspective, the success of EVs in South Africa relies on how soon the country transforms from the current carbon intensive supply to renewable forms. Charging EVs using solar energy during the day has the potential to store energy for use at night for purposes other than transport .
Acceptability of EVs is negatively affected by purchase prices that are 30% higher than conventional vehicles . It is projected that prices of EVs will remain higher than ICE vehicles until 2050 . The current market prices of EVs (> R0.5 million) are unaffordable to the majority of working class South Africans .
