13 exciting electric cars coming to SA next year — and what they will cost

Barring any delays caused by the ongoing global chip shortage, 2022 will see the biggest number of new battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) launched in South Africa in a single year.

Now MyBB needs to do an article about how much more these new ones cost vs the manufacturers same/similar petrol vehicle and how long it will take to save on petrol (if that is the goal of the EV) for the standard 20 000km per year driver.

 

[Fuzzbox]

Soon they will be ornaments if the load shedding predictions are true.

 

[rph72]

So, when can we expect an announcement wrt the scrapping or drastic reduction of import duties for EV's?

Incentives will also help to boost uptake.

 

[Hoffie Hoffmann]

Yeah. What some will cost. Not excited at all

 

[hj007]

So the cheapest is c. R1.6m-R2m. Yeah you're not buying those to save a few bucks on petrol...

You can get a Toyota Hilux 2.8 G.D6 RB Raider for less than the cheapo mini cooper on that list.

The 1% working hard at saving the world from climate change. And judging others for not doing their part.

Buy another house or Uber the rest of my life, not spending 2 bars on a car, don't care if it's electric.

I've actually pre-ordered one for next year. They gave me a lot of "free" extras thrown in with the deal.

 

[SykomantiS]

Not one car on this list cheaper than my HOUSE.
I guess that's a no from me.

Except the Audi RS e-tron GT. Basically a month's groceries.

Wake me up when the Chery QQ Ice Cream EV gets here... https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-ne...-qq-ice-cream-ev-comes-in-three-flavours-from

Insane cost aside, this is where it falls apart for me. Daily school runs and random local errand running are a non-issue. But we go on weekend holidays/camping 6-8 times a year clocking up minimum 400-800km per trip on average. Nothing has this range, and a lot of the time our destination is fairly remote. This will be for the 1% for at least a few more decades.

Just put petrol generator in the trailer to charge it.
