Electric Drive Africa
Приєднався 19 жов 2018
We travel across Africa sharing the story of the Motherland’s journey to electrification of mobility. Africa has a unique opportunity to leapfrog into the age of electromobility like what happened in the mobile telecoms space and in the fintech space with mobile money.
We aim to raise awareness and catalyse adoption of electric vehicles by sharing the stories of what is already happening across many African countries. Electric vehicles are here. They are not the future. They are already here now and Africa stands to benefit through much needed job creation, reduced import bills from reduced oil imports and cleaner air in our congested cities.

Electric Car Fun At Zwartkops Raceway, Pretoria, South Africa
We take the all-electric MINI Cooper SE for some awesome laps at Zwartkops Raceway, Centurion, Pretoria, South Africa. Some key takeaways:
1. Regenerative Breaking setting seemed to limit power. Next time regen will be set to lowest setting or turned off
2. MINI was racing in sub 2Litre section and kept up well with the rest of the cars despite the power limit
3. Installation of DC Fast Chargers at the racetrack would be really helpful and electric cars can then race all day

Have you any idea where these are being built. Are they being built in China to keep the costs down as I can’t see cars built in Germany competing with Chinese cars due to labour costs.
@michaelseer not sure. We will try find out.
Update of this still running?
Whoever you're with in the car doesn't seem very knowledgeable and also seems a little disinterested in what he's marketing. Car dealers please hire people that love cars, that have passion for what they do. The driver is more excited about the car than the seller.
Smart, affordable and eco-friendly.
Yes. It is reasonably priced for this market
Amandhla Amawethu 🎉🙏
Drive EV, Fostering environmental sustainability ❤
Thank you
Amazing
Thank you
How much?
Do electric cars need servicing after a certain time?
Technical no
What type of charger do gou use at home?
We installed a 7kW charger at home
Nice update. Thanks. How many bars do you now have on the battery?
Down to 4 bars
Oh my goodness, 4 bars left innit. Is battery swap feasible especially down there in Zimbabwe?
Some people looking into it. We will explore this option
Hello from Jamaica. We have a 2014 nissan leaf. We did the same as the leaf was the best value for money at the time. Any consideration given to doing a battery replacement for your leaf?
Yes. There is a crew in South Africa that is doing battery replacement. So we are looking into it
How is ev chargers infrastructure in Zimbabwe?
Basically no public chargers yet. A big opportunity
Early petrol cars had no infrastructure you had to buy benzene from a chemist. Charging infrastructure is always a chicken and egg situation. Respectfully that question is kind of moot because no one will invest in charging infrastructure until they have usage and location data and they will match ev uptake and not get out front. Most ev owners charge at home most of the time. Infrastructure will quickly follow uptake because charging stations are easy and quick to install. Nga Mihi.
Good one!
Thank you very much
Kia ora. How's ev uptake going over there? Also what about residential and community solar and batteries? Cheers from Aotearoa. 🇳🇿
EV uptake is quite slow due to high import duties and taxes on EVs. Can you beleive EVs pay higher import duties compared with ICE? Residential solar and batteries are booming 💥 which is good news
where does the discharged one go?
In the locker for charging
What if the electric vehicle break down how would you fix it in a community where electric vehicles expertise
Is it still 65kghc ?
It's manufactured by Kiira motors Uganda..🎉
How much are the buses
This is great! Added bonus for using the absolute worst EV on the market in the video
The one with the smallest battery so when we use longer range EVs, it will be Epic!
@@ElectricDriveAfrica small battery, relatively high price, piss poor packaging, slow charging speeds, horrid plastic interior. It's not just the battery thing that makes it bad - it's a compliance car at a time when even Toyota no longer makes compliance cars.
'Promo SM' 🙏
1k cost charging from JHB to DBN wow not to shab.
Valuable,with thanks for your care . The environment is worth this, greetings from England
So nice of you
Just realised SA drives on the correct side of the road too.
Yes indeed!😎
"Keep left unless overtaking"😎
We drive on the right side of the road, which is the left. Except minibus taxis, which drive wherever they like!
Very cool to see! Excited for the next video!
What is cost in indian rupees.......
Fantastic Innovation
🤣🤣🤣
We speak of price before love then we are lost. Be wary of the values of Chinese trade. If the trader professes Christ then welcome him for he is becoming wise.🕯️
good evening how to change the language in the settings
I'd disagree that's it's easy to turn off. If it turns on pressing the brake pedal then it should turn off on egress like most other EVs. In fact, a physical button to turn off would be much easier
Has the government mandated a charging standard in Kenya yet? A Pan Africa standard is needed or it will become a total mess. Seeing as South Africa has the most developed charging network in Africa it by default is defining the standard no?
Standards are being worked on. Very good point
Wow! Awesome to see more players in the market
The Pla in China stood up and abstained yesterday from a ceasefire in the Middle East. I will not be buying one of their vehicles and putting my fellow brothers and sisters out of work for a while yet.
No footage of sitting in the front seat? Curious what the legroom for the driver is.
These bikes should be cheaper than internal combustion bikes 😂😂😂. I wonder they cost 50k more. Rip off
GIve them African mechanic, electrical and software engineers fresh from campus an opportunity to work with this type of companies while we still got the motivation , Its time we make Africa a worthy competitor

I want to ship tesla cybertruck to Eritrea. How do you charge tesla cars in Africa. Is it as simple as plug and charge on the right electric outlet. Tesla has ignored Africa and Elon is an African. What a shame
You would have to install your own charging station at your home. And also use any other public charging stations
If there’s enough sunshine throughout the year, an excellent solution!
Yes and solar panels will keep getting better as tech improves to in a few years this will procure even more electricity
hello. where can i buy a scooter?
Where in Africa is this?
This is in Harare, Zimbabwe
How much?
@@RefilweCollinsit costs around 4000$
Some cars can take the 22 kW AC with their onboard-charger like the Renault ZOE. That’s quite useful! Congratulations to Africa from Germany
O cangacero
We need Tesla in kenya
Your son was right and you can repair it yourself
