There are four electric vehicles available in South Africa in April 2024 for less than R1 million, with varying levels of performance, range, and features.
The main distinguishing factors for the entry-level and top-end model, which cost around R150,000 more, is range on a single charge. In terms of range, it only offers slightly more than the entry-level Ora 03 with up to 345km on a single charge. It can supply the average household’s electricity demands for well over a day, even on its entry-level battery.The Atto 3 starts at around R7,000 less than the EX30 Core, but the latter offers substantially better performance with a peak output of 200kW and 343NM torque.The more expensive dual-motor version can achieve the same in just 3.6 seconds, making it Volvo’s fastest model.
Nevertheless, at just under R1 million, it is the most affordable car in South Africa that can accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in less than four seconds.The Mini Cooper SE Hatch had the highest entry-level price of the four models under R1 million, despite being the smallest and only one with just two doors.
