Oi! Leave me out of this...
Around the 80km mark is my baseline for ev range for a Phev for it to make sense to me.

Does it have to be a PHEV?
Why not buy a Nissan leaf off webuycars for R150k that also does 80km?
All you have to do it replace the battery for R150k and increase range to 300km. The only spanner is the plug type (not ccs), too hammered to remember what its called.

For 80kms range yes. For a full ev it needs to be more, probably around 450 comfortably.

It's still a number of months away. One teaser pic released by Nissan & from just one pic we know the styling is going to take a drastic upward turn over the dumpy current model.
The i3 gets all the limelight locally in the electric city car sphere but Nissan was out the blocks a number of years before BMW.
And it's good to support the underdog

2018 Nissan Leaf – striking design previewed in first image
A single picture of the car’s headlight backs suspicion it will take influence from the Micra
The next Nissan Leaf will arrive next year with a more aggressive design inspired...

Review: BYD Atto 2 DM-i
What does the BYD Atto 2 DM-i cost?
The BYD Atto 2 DM-i is priced from R449 900 for the Comfort model, while R489 900 gets you into the Dynamic derivative. Included with the package as standard are a four-year/60 000 km service plan, five-year/150 000 km vehicle warranty, and an eight-year/200 000 km battery warranty.
BYD Atto 2 DM-i – R449 900
BYD Atto 2 DM-i – R489 900
Verdict
Despite the few gripes we had with the Atto 2 DM-i, it made a good first impression overall. It’s a decent compact crossover, offering sufficient power and torque outputs, a respectable amount of interior space, and oodles of tech at a palatable price point. In addition, compared to its aforementioned rivals, which employ “traditional” hybrid powertrains, the BYD’s PHEV arrangement offers electric-only driving (up to a claimed 40 km). If you are in the market for a new-energy compact crossover, the Atto 2 DM-i is worth a look.
