For a country that has no government incentives at all yet to promote electric vehicles for a cleaner environment, this is very likely a first for South Africa.
This is the first of two solar-powered EV charging stations that will be offered free-of-charge for the first two years to members of the public, the city said.
The sites were chosen because of their convenient, safe and visible locations and the chargers were donated by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO).
