Audi South Africa said the stations could charge up to 57 EVs simultaneously, at varying capacities, regardless of model or brand.
The rollout forms part of the second phase of Audi’s investment in the country’s EV charging network.
“The commissioning of the first and second phase of charging infrastructure means that Audi and partners GridCars and Rubicon, have installed 76 fast and ultra-fast EV chargers across South Africa, representing about 28% of public charging stations in the country,” Audi South Africa said. Audi and its partners have spent roughly R45 million on the charging station rollouts in the past two years.Rubicon Energy and E-mobility director Greg Blandford said mounting public interest in EVs would drive the need to integrate charging infrastructure, renewable energy, and energy storage systems.
Rubicon is also the official distributor of Tesla’s backup power products and home EV chargers in South Africa.
