Electric cars in South Africa with the best range

South Africans have several electric cars to choose from with maximum driving ranges of around 500km, with the BMW iX xDrive50 offering 630km of range on a single charge.

Developed countries with many EVs on their roads have extensive charging infrastructure, but South Africa is still far behind on this front. On top of this, most chargers only offer a 22.2kW output, meaning they will take much longer to fill up a battery sufficiently compared to Tesla’s Superchargers which can range between 60kW and 180kW output.

South Africa’s first electric car, the Nissan Leaf, had a small 24kW battery that could only go up to 200km on a single charge. The electric SUV packs a massive 111.5kWh battery which offers up to 630km of range before requiring a charge.The maximum range is based on a set of ideal conditions, including optimal driving habits, speed, temperature, and the use of other features.
