Two off-grid, solar-powered EV charging stations were launched along the strategic Johannesburg - Durban N3 corridor.
The growth of the electric vehicle market in South Africa has received another boost with the recent construction of off-grid solar-powered EV charging stations along the N3 highway in KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State.
This week, new EV charging stations were launched near the Tugela Toll Plaza on the N3, close to the Winterton exits and at the Reitz Interchange (Exit 107), in the Free State.
The project is led by a company called Zero Carbon Charge (CHARGE) which said it had carried out other pilot projects in other areas of the country.
The company said the N3 stations feature next-generation technology that delivers 50% more charging capacity, significantly improving charging speeds. Each station can charge up to 8 EVs simultaneously, with 3 DC chargers equipped with 6 dispensers and 2 AC chargers with one dispenser each.
