The business case for electric buses and minibuses

[Daniel Puchert]

South Africa could drastically cut public transport costs

Bus fleet managers can save over R2 million per vehicle over 10 years by switching to an electric alternative if the vehicle travels more than 60,000km per year.

This is according to GreenCape's Electric Vehicle Market Intelligence 2025 report for South Africa, which compared the business cases for electric buses and minibuses.

But the math isn't mathing?

If the ICE bus is 2.5 bar cheaper but cost 2.5bar more to run over 10 years compared to an electric bus. Where is the savings?

In fact the risk due to the higher out lay for an electric bus swings this back to buying the cheaper ICE bus... Is there something I am missing?

They forget the Taxi Mafia and ANC Mafia.

Between those to incompetents SA will be held back for decades.
