Welcome to EV Solutions South Africa 🇿🇦!
This is the platform where advise, guidance and solutions will be provided with regards to adaptation of Electric Vehicles in SA.
EVs are inevitable! Let’s be part of this important technological transition in modern transportation.
The BYD plug in hybrid technology that BYD terms DM-i is a different & uncommon PHEV configuration that actually primarily use the ICE engine as a generator unlike most PHEVs
BYD PHEVs prioritise electrical propulsion and only introduced ICE only at efficient and optimal level
The Comfort and Dynamic models are equipped with an 18.3 kWh battery pack enabling an electric-only driving range of approximately 80 to 100km. When combining the electric motor with the internal combustion engine, the Sealion 6 offers a total range exceeding1,000 kilometers.
While other manufacturers are tardy in introducing their products into the SA market, BYD has been here, and they’re getting out attention. Deservedly so …
Here’s the Sealiom 6/7 and the Shark 6
More in those later …

Of course this beast was also there at #FestivalofMotoring
Been around for more than 2 years and clearly the South Africans have fallen in love with it it despite the hefty price of around R2.5 Million
The Taycan is a beauty …
What do we have here …
This little puncher has been with us for the past 3 or so years
It’s really gone unnoticed mainly because of its rather underwhelming range of only about 200 km. It was the cheapest EV before the Ora popped in
The Mini SE …
For R3.5 Million you can have yourself this accomplished PHEV from BMW …
It’s the ultimate PHEV that offers luxury and performance
You could give add a small contribution in averting climate change by driving this machine for a 100 km on pure EV power
On the premium side BMW also came to the party with the i versions …
Really beautiful machines …
Got R1.4million burning in your pocket?
#FestivalofMotoring
Starting at R716k (48kWh, 300km range), it’s the cheapest EV in our market & the 63 kWh battery offers a range of 400 km with outputs of 126 kW & 250 Nm. It can be fast-charged from an 80 kW DC charger from 10% to 80% in just 41 minutes
#FestivalofMotoring shows the 63kWh model
The Ora Cat was the highlight of the day …
This is a brilliant value for money offering from GWM that should sell well & really shake the EV market into life
#FestivalofMotoring
The #festivalofmotoring disappointingly did not showcase as much EV and PHEV products as one would have expected
However there was a few (some somewhat familiar) that really stood out …
A very exciting day at the #FestivalofMotoring with a better variety than last year
Kudos to the Chinese for coming to the party. BAIC, Chery (Omoda) and GWM stole the show
It’s only GWM that showcased some EV and HEV products
We’ll be at the #FestivalofMotoring in Kyalami on Sunday
Look out for some interesting and insightful content on PHEVs and EVs that will be on show from the event
