Saving over R700 driving an electric car on an 800km road trip

We recently travelled between Pretoria and Golden Gate National Park in the Free State and saved over R700 in fuel costs by using an electric vehicle instead of a similar petrol car.

Prices for diesel cars can vary from one station to the next, as only the wholesale price is regulated. We then recharged up to 100% to calculate the effective cost of all the electricity consumed during our trip. This is what we did on a previous trip to the Kruger National Park’s Shingwedzi camp, where we charged without any additional fees.Unfortunately, our overnight accommodation in Golden Gate National Park did not have a plug close enough to the parking area.

It is not entirely fair to compare the EX30’s consumption with that of this car, as the Sonet is significantly less powerful and feature-rich.
