Most respondents in AutoTrader’s latest Electric Vehicle Buyers Survey would consider buying an electric car if it met certain range, charging speed, and price criteria.
Many South Africans plan to buy an electric car in the future. However, most will only do so if it offers at least 500km of range, can charge to full in under four hours, and costs under R500,000.of AutoTrader’s Electric Vehicle Buyers Survey, compiled with responses from about 2,400 visitors to the car classifieds website.
While this was down slightly from the 61% recorded in the 2022 survey, only 17% of participants said they were either “very unlikely” or “unlikely” to consider an EV, while the remaining 25% were uncertain. AutoTrader also asked the respondents several questions about what they considered the most important features of an EV to consider buying one.
Even with that speed, it would take a moderately-sized 75kWh battery pack just over three hours to charge from empty to full.A more realistic expectation should be between 7 and 12 hours for 7–11kW AC charging.
