Electric Car Chargers News

Electric Vehicles (Evs),EV Charging,Greg Blandford

MyBroadband asked South Africa’s two biggest EV charging network operators — GridCars and Rubicon — whether they were concerned that growing EV adoption would outpace charging expansion.

Despite the accelerated uptake of EVs in South Africa, electric vehicle adopters should not be concerned that they will have to wait in long queues to use public chargers in the near future,

Fortunately, this was better than the roughly two hours he previously waited at the same station for a BMW iX to charge up. “We encourage the EV drivers to let us know when this happens so we can record it and ensure we are responding to this with increased chargers as the needs develop,” the company said.

Cities like Johannesburg and Pretoria have hundreds of stations, while entire provinces like the North West, Free State, and Northern Cape might only have a handful. However, that comes with another problem — limited electricity distribution capacity where multiple or ultra-fast chargers are required.
