What electric cars are for sale in South Africa?
As manufacturers push electrification on the mainstream consumer, it's hard to not be even a little curious about what electric cars have to offer. If you're on this page, you're one of those that are a little intrigued. Let's help cure that curiosity by starting out with a list of the electric cars that are currently available in SA.
Like it or not, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more prevalent. The infrastructure continues to grow daily, and more manufacturers are gearing up for an electrified future. Will we see all internal combustion engines (ICE) disappear? No, not at all, but there will be a string drive to reduce the number of them on the roads. We see no reason why not as EVs offer some fantastic benefits, even if the technology is still in the early development stages.

As ranges increase and functionality improves, EVs become more appealing. The prices are still rather high (thanks to the higher taxes imposed by our government) but manufacturers are constantly working towards introducing cheaper EV alternatives. If you're in the market for a new car and you're considering an electric vehicle, then here are the vehicle you can choose from today.
This is a list of the vehicles available to the public as of 6 March 2023 along with their pricing, and we're expecting several new models to be introduced in the coming months.
