South Africans can save a substantial amount on transport-related costs when switching to an electric vehicle.
Head of Energy at Compare the Market, Meredith O’Brien, said that driving an EV helps save money on energy costs.
O’Brien added that utilizing solar panels to charge an EV during daylight hours can help reduce the cost of electricity needed to run the vehicle. “As people struggle with the rising cost of living, it is important that they take all their bills into account when trying to save money,” she said.Although electric cars may present substantial energy-saving costs, many in South Africa still have reservations.
According to Deloitte’s Global Automotive Consumer Study, the largest area of concern for all-powered battery-powered vehicles is a lack of sufficient charging infrastructure in the country, with 53% of respondents stating that it is their biggest concern regarding BEVs.
