Accenture in South Africa reposted this
One of the questions I get asked most about Electric Vehicles is “But can I drive from Joburg to Cape Town in an EV?" Well... in just under a weeks’ time we are going to answer that question. As a lead-up to the naamsa | The Automotive Business Council #SAAutoWeek Conference, a fellowship of intrepid movers and shakers within SA's mobility and energy industries will set off on an EV Road Trip adventure on Thursday 10 October to drive a convoy of five EVs from Johannesburg to Cape Town… VIA GQEBERHA! Over 4 days we will cover nearly 2200kms, including what will likely be the first drive over the Swartberg pass in a convoy of electric vehicles. We will test the state of SA’s current EV charging capabilities and the real-world ranges of a #BMWiX #VolvoXC40 #VWID4Pro #MercedesEQ and #BYDSeal to see just how possible it is to drive long distance in SA in an EV. Keep an eye out on the hashtags #SAAutoWeek #NEVRoadTrip #EscapingTheNoise across all social channels over the coming week to follow the action!
