Two of the five cheapest electric cars in the country are less than R800,000.

The City Blitz offers a small 7.5kW electric motor that tops out at a maximum speed of 80km/h, while the Pony’s puny 5kW electric motor only allows it to go up to 70km/h.However, given their low power figures, it’s arguable whether the City Blitz or Pony could be considered fully-fledged cars.

The previous cheapest EV in South Africa — the fully road-legal BMW i3 — offers much better specifications than these models.While that mileage would have some concerned about the remaining battery life, it might not be that big of an issue.that the highest-mileage BMW i3 driven in South Africa surpassed a 300,000km odometer reading in January 2022.

The hatchback will start at R716,900 when it starts rolling out to South African showroom floors in late Q2 2023 or early Q3 2023.In distant third place is Volvo’s XC40 Recharge Plus, priced at R1.075 million rand.However, two models are expected to help plug that hole in the coming months.

South Africa’s Johann Rupert Is Africa's Richest ManSouth African businessman Johann Rupert, 73, has overtaken Nigerian business mogul Aliko Dangote as the richest man in Africa, according to Forbes Magazine's Real-time global Billionaires ranking, writes Leadership. Rupert's estimated nett worth is U.S.$12 billion, while Dangote's nett worth is U.S.$10.8 billion. Rupert's wealth primarily comes from his ownership in Cie Financiere Richemont, a leading luxury goods manufacturer and retailer, as well as strategic investments in Remgro and Reinet. Dangote's fortunes suffered a significant decline due to the depreciation of the Nigerian naira, which was caused by the Central Bank of Nigeria's decision to auction the U.S. dollar at a lower rate, compared to the official market price.
