A general rule of thumb is that smaller vehicles are lighter on fuel due to the fact that they are fitted with smaller capacity engines. Conversely, the bigger and heavier the car, the larger the engine capacity and the higher the fuel consumption.
The recent fuel price increases have resulted in an increased interest in the feasibility of electric vehicles. While the initial purchasing price of the variety of electric vehicle models currently available in South Africa is at the higher end of the market, their running cost is significantly lower than that of a traditionally fuelled vehicle.
As an example, even fuel-efficient vehicles that use 5.0 litres per 100km cost R1.04 per kilometre to run and this increases to R4.17 per kilometre in a vehicle that uses 20 litres per 100 kilometres.

EVs are the 'dirtiest means of personal transport' in South AfricaShould South Africans switch to electric cars to reduce their environmental footprint? The answer is no. It can be 100x dirtier, I really don't care, if I can have an EV powered by the sun to avoid the rising cost of fuel, the uselessness of Eskom, the 'dirtiness' of the EV will be the last thing I worry about. Assumes without any proof that EV owners won't be charging using their own solar panels. Poorly reasoned.
