Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about electric cars, their benefits, fuel efficiency, and value. Browse by body type or compare transmissions.
Are electric cars practical in South Africa?
Yes, increasingly so. With improving charging infrastructure and falling battery costs, electric cars are now practical for daily commuting. Long-range models can travel 300-500 km on a single charge.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
Fast chargers deliver 80% charge in 20-30 minutes. Home charging takes 6-10 hours overnight. Most owners charge at home, so charging time is rarely an issue.
What about electric car battery life?
Modern EV batteries are warrantied for 8-10 years or 200,000 km. Real-world data shows they degrade slowly—losing only 2-3% capacity per year, retaining 80% capacity after 10 years.
