I’m honoured to have driven a few Electric Vehicles available in South Africa over the past few years. So, I’ve listed my reviews of them here. A thread 🧵

Ramaphosa says Chinese will build electric car charging networks in South Africa South Africa's president said the Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition was finalising a comprehensive EV programme so that "manufacturers can come to the fore". mybroadband.co.za/news/motoring/…

@LwaziMahl @thee_adv Yes

@PapiMabele @thee_adv By household socket you mean like a normal plug?

So, buying an electric car means charging it all night and still fail to drive from Jo'burg to Venḓa because of range issues? Haikhona.

@thabotebele @thee_adv You can ready my initial response again to understand and comprehend. You don’t need a charger at every corner.

@PapiMabele @thee_adv I think maybe hybrid cars will do,not fully electric cars

@MT6599 @thee_adv Definitely. That’s the idea.

@PapiMabele @thee_adv This is even much better. You use your electric car for daily use without worrying about petrol.

@thabotebele @thee_adv Green pins indicate chargers.

@PapiMabele @thee_adv Where are those places we can charge them along the way to Limpopo. Between N1 and N4.

Saturday at Zwartkops Raceway with Volkswagen...showing some love for Johnathan Mogotsi as he'll be racing at the 24hr Nürburgring

So, I’m spending my Saturday with @VolkswagenSA for a watch party in support of Volkswagen Motorsport driver Jonathan Mogotsi’s Nürburgring 24-hour race debut. Jonathan earned Permit A and will race a Max Kruse Racing Volkswagen Golf 8 TCR. Such a legend! The entire race will be live streamed with live timing also available at 24h-rennen.de

I’m with my straight friends and the guys have been fighting to take the check 😊 I’ll just stand one side and let the men do their thing 😏

@Filwe_28 @WayneH__ Yes. Chery bought it and will be refurbishing to their specifications

@WayneH__ @PapiMabele As far as I know it's been bought by Chery and Nissan itself is leaving

@WayneH__ Yeah, they’re closing down to refurb and start production in 2027. They said to be retaining local part/component suppliers too.

@PapiMabele Oh is it temporary?
