that the South African government must deliver policy certainty on electric vehicles within six months if it is to save the local automotive industry.
“Normally you implement a tariff because there is a local industry to protect, but no EVs are manufactured at scale in South Africa,” the Eskom CEO said in response to a question. “If you want to seed the market, you need to open it up and you need to enable people to buy [at affordable prices].”
Trying to put out a fire by adding more fuel..
WEF Puppet!!!
Fok drop so n IK nou na 30% toe🙄
So what happens during Loadshedding?
Electric cars are like organic bread at woolies. Less than 2% can afford it. Unless a small entry level Electric car is same price or less than I10 or Picanto forget about it. Oh and it has to be cheaper to charge than filling fuel. I don't see that with Eskom prices now.
In South Africa, 1. there will not be electricity to charge, 2. Cars cannot be left unattended 3. The cable and station will be stolen, or burned, or plundered. CyrilRamaphosa and his criminal cabal can take billions from west, this will not change unless ANC unseated.
- What is going down elsewhere that Joe Soap is not aware of with this clickbait and distraction article. Not everyone is a bloody fool. Take this rubbish somewhere, preferably to one of your pies in the sky. ~
Maybe we can put generators in our cars boot....
And the catch line is? Maybe stick generators in our boots?
🤣🤣🤣
So he is a new world order puppet I thought so
It seems that he has reached the point where he's just moving his lips and letting words fall out.
That we charge with what 🤷♂️
How do you keep electric vehicles running if you can't even keep the lights on? For everyone to switch to electric vehicles, you will need to increase your capacity. You can't even meet current demands!!
This idea is so financially not thought through!! Cost? Import? Charging? Ridiculous actually!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣And charge them where? You need to go on real meds that can clear your head.
Of course, 12 years after Gov canned the SA made electric car project, preventing it from entering the market
Shitttttt 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
Powered by solar I guess. 👁️
I'm all for electric cars
and charge them with fucking what
Nope. Never
Genius.
Has to be a parody account...
Madness takes it's toll....
Every time an electric vehicle is pushed we need to think about this! This deserves attention as a human rights issue. Poor countries are kept poor intentionally.
With what do you want to charge the vehicle's batteries?😂😂😂
Just get a generator to charge it with.
He can hardly supply electricity, tell him to stay away from electric cars.
solidariteit kom haal hierdie kind van julle hy maak droog.
Does he know electric cars need electricity to charge?
How we going to charge them. 🤔
It doesn't take long for the coven's faithful to show up, does it?
Eskom can’t even supply the nation with power now he wants to push for electric cars! What a bleddie joke. 🤦♀️🤦
Nuclear bro. Go nuclear.
This oke has lost the plot and needs to be subbed
get_screenshot
poet_this
🤣🤣🤣 What a fkn clown show! Without a reliable fossil backed power grid, how will these EV's be reliably charged. Guess we can expect travel only allowed during day, lock down after hours, all to 'save' the planet. Wake up people. 🤡🌍
Absolute penis
Do we even need to say anything at this point? Please switch off non-essential appliances to control electricity use, but also convert all your cars to using electricity Madness
can't keep the power on but we must drive cars that run off the same power...
Welcome to Clownworld
Let the numbnuts explain how the cars will get charged with the failed Eskom Eskom_SA
Electricity is obviously not a requirement for Electric Cars😂
Funny how Switzerland is asking people to use electrical cars less next year to save power due to current ongoing war. So not all eggs in one basket
Electric cars? WTF? We have loadshedding almost everyday..... dont be ridiculous.
Well now we know why this white man is in this job and why he hasn't yet been removed. A WEF stooge!
Well right there is the problem
He is paid by WEF.
These things can't even keep the lights on how you going to charge your car? Unemployment rises again. voetsekAnc
Let them eat cake
With what electricity?
All EV I can probbably afford is a golf cart.
they can't even keep the power on now, how the hell are they going to do that with a ton of electric cars. These people need to go for a drug screening. I think there is some heavy stuff involved.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 are you kidding me
Pressure from the EU,US, UK and the WEF. They've given Ramaphosa billions as bribes the push through the 'build back better' agenda. They want to see results.
I think the situation is now so desperate many have started to drink and are talking rubbish under the influence. Really? It is sometimes difficult to charge a phone never mind a car... Get the loadshedding situation under control then, maybe, just maybe we can talk about cars!
How exactly must we charge them?
This is just getting ridiculous now.
So in effect Eskom uses Diesel to power our electric vehicles! Save money and buy a diesel car cut out a shit load of charging time and cost differential!
This should be a treasonous act, no ways the main guy at Eskom can make such a statement.
If you will be using Electric cars, that means that there will be a greater demand placed on the already disfunctional Eskom. Am I missing something here.
nisangene uhamba nini
Hlengi__ 😂😂😂😂😂
Tsek
That's like Mbalula saying people should use more trains.
Looking for relevance at a wrong time & place
Why? So that Government can switch off your vehicle when you don’t comply with their rules and mandates. No thanks.
We don’t even have enough electricity for homes, how must we have electric cars
You're smoking something.. without electric cars the demand is higher than what Eskom provides.. I'm already doing the garden route thanks to the ANC, I'm for sure not going to place my wheels in your hands.. for phucken sure not
I can't even charge my phone
😂 😂 😂 😂 Eskom_SA tell Andre to rather be quiet
🤣🤣🤣
Definitely the right man to be leading Eskom
Only the rich will have cars then.
So Dudes gonna have to wait 2+ hours to pick up huns? Lol
This has to be a parody story mcleodd 😂
He is the last person to talk about EV
Man can’t keep lights on to boil water how he gon keep electric cars running ?
Not renewable fuel cars😜
This man actually made me laugh in Spanish🤣🤣🤣
Dude can’t keep the lights on but his talking about electric cars We have normalised and accepted mediocrity in SA
That guy knows nothing about ugesi, he must just fokoff
Sounds like Eskom has its priorities in order...🤦🏿♂️
The UK have stopped selling cars that run of fossil fuel.... Now they have a power crises..... SA have a power crises without Electric vehicles....
With what electricity?
Can he get Eskom stable first, and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply? (that’s what he gets paid to do). Electric cars and whatnots are not his business.
75% of south african cannot afford electric vehicles .. this is white bullshit
🤣🤣🤣 so that Eskom can bring the whole country to standstill... the only smiling people would be ProfitsForComrades..
Can someone borrow the CEO brains please
Sengiyabona itraffic for 2hrs izimoto zingahambi kuyi loadshedding
Oh! Now he's also Moonlighting as our minister of transport too is he? & Exactly when was he voted into the presidency giving him the authority to make such sweeping changes ...?
JJ_Stellies we are here
This is just a way they will be able to get more electricity demand and in turn generate more revenue, probably also get that tariff hike they are looking for.
I’m not interested. I still want my cars in manual or dual clutch with big engines and valves with pistons going up and down
Are these cars affordable vele?
Mapentz Create jobs. Start manufacturing cheap electric cars that are not dependent on Eskom power.
Unfortunately the world is not waiting for us to make up our minds. Adapt or die! South Africa will lose the automotive sector unless we switch to EV's soon enough.
Madness from this failure.
Is this an application for a new job in DTI?
They can’t even supply a full day of electricity, but he wants electric cars?! Madness!
😂😂😂lo uyagula ngempela
He's also a 🤡 now. There's no electricity in South Africa. Isn't he in charge if Eskom (the world's most useless & corrupt power supplier?)
Eskom should also switch to electricity
And drive them with what ?
We ain gon make it to work
Why's that his business? Has he taken Gwede's position?
And how are they supposed to be charged? He is an incompetent twit. He must go now.
The GovernmentZA needs to lower import duties on electric vehicles for this to happen
Man! This clown 🤡
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Usijwayeka indlu yangasese.
And charge the cars with what exactly?
Does it come with generator in the boot?
Makes sense if we all generators and solar panels 🙃. Clearly he's not interested in residential customers.
Really...? Eskom must 1st be able to handle PRASA_Group trains before electric cars!!! 🧐🤔
Are you joking?
IS JY STUPID?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 and charge them with what power exactly ?
😂 I would LOVE to know what he is smoking! It seems to transport him to Lala land while SA crumbles around him!
Mr De Ruyter I support you and how you are trying to combat all the woes at Eskom but fail to understand how this will be of benefit to us. Please can someone explain?
They can't even supply enough power for the current load.
Tell you what Mr CEO: Fix our f***ing electricity issue and then we start looking at EVs. Eskom_SA EskomSpokesper1
I love full electric but I reckon hybrid is the way to go
You are joking ..right ? Loadshedding_SA
They are quiet pretty. My hybrid wonder has 258km of first tank of petrol after a total of 6783 km.
This guy just burned through R11Bn in diesel over an 8 month period wants us to buy electric vehicles that he wont be able to fuel.
Puppet
And use a diesel generator to recharge 🤣🤣
Guy in charge of electricity company that can't supply electricity tells people to buy cars powered by the electricity he can't supply.
When will we charge the cars during loadshedding 🤣🤣🤣🤣 UPS!!!!
It seems he is connected to the same reality grid as Cyril. Pie in the sky. If he rrally said this, he is not the guy to fix Eskom.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a joke.
Burn diesel to keep lights on and charge your EV. Seems like fair logic to me.
😂😂😂
I just can't anymore...
What a chop
What is this guy smoking…….EV’s will not work here
An absolute 🤡, can’t generate the power but calls for switch to EV’s ? And I somehow had the impression he was a capable CEO.
This statement alone shows he isn't fit for managing Eskom
Any suggestions from him on recharging these cars during load shedding?
Clown
🤡
Voetsek
This one makes Pule Mabe sounds like a Harvard graduate with his outlandish statements
Retire allready please
In the meanwhile Switzerland is telling electric car owners not to use their vehicles this winter to save energy... 😂
For someone who just blown his allocated diesel budget he does talk a lot
Why don't he just focus on what he's paid to do, and that's keeping the lights on.
🤣🤣🤣We don't have enough electricity as it is🤣🤣🤣and now we have to consider electric cars🤣🤣🤣
How on earth can you make such a statement when it is clear there is a massive shortfall in electricity generation as well as going to be in the future? Who tells you to make these statements? We want growth in economy, bugger electric cars.
Why?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Eskom of all places telling people to switch to EV 🤣🤣 Do you even know the harm to the planet just to manufacture a lithium batt ? Do you even know what these EV cost And with our infrastructure it would be a total disaster
With no electricity in SA?
They will do a lot to solve traffic congestion?
🤡
This must be a misquote.
This is stupid besides stick to fixing Eskom first. FFS we don't have enough electricity as it is. Remember this is someone still believing in Covid vaccines
Yeah sure, so that they can loadshed us more!
WEF Puppet!!!
Cyril must take him with when he finally leaves office
Ludicrous notion.....
His anti-grey hairdye works as well as that logic which works just as well as his suggestion of getting cars that rely on power stations without power... BRB just going to go shoot myself in the foot to get some open-toed shoes 😉👌
With fluctuating electricity …
Bwahahaha so his in on the green energy scam fairytale
What shall we charge them with, dear Lisa
😂 😂
Is this a parody account?
🤣🤣🤣
Can someone wake him up, he's dreaming and has overslept.
This guy loves drugs
😂🤣👍
It seems like this man lives in a fantasy where the country has 24/7 electricity
😂😂😂
Hey look Andre, I just paid a fucking fortune for an electric car but I can hardly drive the thing. Why, you might ask? Because the SOE you’re in charge of hasn’t provided sufficient electricity to charge the fucking thing 🙄
Well now we know he’s gone WOKE NWO
Who tf is he pressing?🤗
We barely have power supply to keep our lights on at home 🏡..how are we gonna recharge our cars...with loadshedding a realization..have of the time we be literally stuck in traffic 😑
Focus on fixing the business that your are suppose to run not on side issues for SA
Poes doesn’t understand that it’s urgent we get electricity! Now he wants to strand us all at home? Prick.
Smoking socks?
Kinda pointless if I have to charge it with a generator...
Nee Andre, jy maak seker 'n fokken grap. Jy verdien miljoene per jaar maar kan steeds nie jou werk doen nie, en nou wil jy vir my kom vertel ek moet iewers R500K uitkak vir 'n nuwe motor. En dit met jou beplande 30-40% tariefverhoging in 2023? Doos.
Actor reading a script
His daily morning energy concoction must have been tampered with, by the wife
Is he crazy
And how do you charge them - with diesel-powered generators? 😅
Should we tell him the glaring problem in his reasoning?
How are going to charge during load shedding? It's just gonna get worst.
Absolute fucking horseshit!! Sweden is asking people to stop charging their e-cars and you think SA can manage to get it to work.
mcleodd Jissus. Dis die domste klomp kak wat iemand ooit kan praat.
🙄
