The miniscule EV has an endearing price and running costs but the driving range may be an issue, writes Phuti Mpyane

The minuscule EV has an endearing price and running costs but the driving range may be an issue, writes Phuti MpyaneCute as a button, clean as a whistle Shandong CityBug is SA's cheapest EV. Picture: SUPPLIED

It is the smallest and lightest EV on sale in the land, and the cheapest too at R230,000 — the next most affordable EV is the Mini Cooper SE at R686,400. Its importer into SA is Eleksa, short for Elektriese SA, headed by Phillip Geyser. He started his mobility business back in 2013 importing electric scooters and quads from China and also provides mobility solutions for the elderly or disabled which are sold through a nationwide dealer footprint. From May 2021 the company added the CityBug to its offerings.

When I caught up with the CEO he was making his way to Bloemfontein, understandably not behind the wheel of the CityBug as it has a 60km/h top end.
