Podcast: Can you road trip across South Africa in an EV?

Ciro De Siena

27 May 2022

South Africans love to travel by road. Many of us have fond memories of family trips to holiday destinations, or to visit family across the country. But with the motoring world increasingly heading over to electrification, will we still be able to travel across our beautiful country in our electric vehicles?

Winstone Jordaan, MD of Gridcars, along with his team, has been spearheading the electrification of South Africa’s road network. If you’ve seen a fast charger somewhere along the N1, N2, N3 or N4, it’s most likely a GridCars charger

We were delighted to be joined by Winstone in our Cape Town podcast studio for a lengthy chat, hosted by our video guy Ciro De Siena.

We hope you find this discussion valuable.
