The company is focused on establishing a national network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across South Africa, strategically positioned approximately 150km apart along major highways and routes. This network is powered entirely by renewable energy, ensuring a zero-carbon footprint and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. The business model involves partnering with farm stall owners and landowners to host these charging stations, providing them with an opportunity to participate in the green energy movement. The company targets EV owners and travelers who require quick and convenient charging solutions during long-distance travel. By offering ultra-fast chargers that can recharge an EV in about 20 minutes, the company addresses the critical need for efficient recharging infrastructure. As the global automotive industry shifts towards electric vehicles, the South African market is expected to follow suit, driven by the import of vehicles from major suppliers in Europe, Korea, China, and Japan. The company's initiative aligns with this global transition, positioning it as a key player in the electrification of the transport sector in South Africa.
