Africa’s most exciting electric vehicle event, the Electric Vehicle Road Trip Africa (EVRT Africa), will be coming to South Africa for the very first time from 2 October to 10 October 2019.
Generation.e, working with the Department of Transport and Gauteng Provincial Government, will be embarking on an road trip across the country – starting in Johannesburg and culminating in Cape Town.
Petrol heads and electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts will get the chance to take 12 of the latest EVs on an epic adventure, tackling challenging environments and large distances to showcase the cars’ power and capabilities. At the same time, they’ll be proving that South Africa is ready to embrace electric travel.
To power the country’s journey towards sustainability, Generation.e will be installing approximately 30 electric vehicle charging points at hotels, petrol stations, and other sites suited for EV charging in each of the cities visited, such as Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.
Tickets to take part in the road trip are already sold out, but a few tickets will be up for grabs through social and website competitions. Whilst this may not be big news in other countries South Africa has so pathetically few sales of EVs that have taken place so this awareness campaign is very sorely needed.
