Zero Carbon Charge has suffered a slight setback with its first off-grid charging station’s construction, but is adamant that it will complete 120 sites over the next year and three months.
The completion of South Africa’s first fully off-grid electric vehicle charging station has been delayed by three months.
The company is working closely with local and provincial governments on its charging station rollout.the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Free State government for 15 stations planned for the province. However, ZeroCC is focusing primarily on stops along routes between major cities and towns to make long-distance EV travelling more viable.In addition, it aims to use greener energy for filling up at these stations than what’s available on the national grid, which relies primarily on fossil fuel-based generation.
Despite the delays experienced with the first station, ZeroCC said it was still on track to complete the first 60 stations by February 2025, with the second half to be done by September 2025. While the company said it was too early in the process to determine costs, it expected this to be in line with other providers’ prices.
