FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We estimate that there will be about 200 000 electric vehicles in South Africa by 2027. In addition, most manufacturers will stop making internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in 2030, drastically increasing the uptake of electric vehicles. The vast majority of new vehicles sold after 2030 will be electric.

It has been proven that electric vehicles are as safe, if not safer, than fuel-powered cars.

To answer this question, one must look at the data and compare the cost of buying and running a pair of EVs against their fuel-powered counterparts — including purchase prices, energy costs, maintenance charges, tax credits, and depreciation. The conclusion is that electric vehicles are cheaper to own and operate.

Electric charging is cheaper. As a rule of thumb, the cost of charging an electric vehicle is roughly two-thirds of the cost of filling a car with petrol.

The planned first phase includes 120 charging stations across South Africa.

The EV determines the speed at which it charges. Our ultra-fast chargers can charge most EVs to 80% in about 20 minutes. 

No it doesn’t. The energy used by Zero Carbon Charge is derived from renewable sources such as the sun and the wind. Therefore, the charging stations will operate as normal during load shedding.

“Range anxiety” is a concern for many drivers of electric vehicles. Zero Carbon Charge is working towards eliminating this source of stress by providing charging stations at least every 150km along all of South Africa’s major routes.

“Range anxiety” is a concern for many drivers of electric vehicles. Essentially what it is, is the worry that your EV will not make it to the next charging station. Zero Carbon Charge is working towards eliminating this source of stress by providing charging stations at least every 150km along all of South Africa’s major routes.

Our charging stations are located at appealing destinations such as farm stalls. There is plenty to do and see while your vehicle charges.
