South Africa’s new R299 electric car charging subscription analysed

• South Africa's new R299 electric car charging subscription is not beneficial for most drivers, as the effective cost of public charging is still higher than residential electricity.
• The subscription could be beneficial for those who travel long distances or consume more energy, with GridCars offering an introductory price of R99 per month for a limited time.
• After the promotional period ends, subscribers will pay an extra R57.29 per month, making the effective cost of charging around R9.13 per kWh.
