Two ways to escape South Africa’s high petrol prices

South African motorists concerned over high fuel prices in the country can by an electric vehicle or opt to have their car converted to run on liquid petroleum gas to escape these fees,

MyBroadband compared the cost of buying a petrol car, converting it to run on LPG, and refuelling it for various distances to the price of buying an EV and recharging it to travel on the same routes.is one of the companies that offers Ergon Equipment and Prins Autogas LPG conversion kits and installations in South Africa.

A commonly converted car model is the Suzuki Dzire, which we used for our calculations. Suzuki sells the Dzire 1.2 GL Automatic for R239,900. The LPG conversion brings the total price to just about R271,525, including VAT. “Based on this, a vehicle can run up to 10% richer on LPG — requiring 0–10% more LPG than petrol to achieve the same range.”

MyBroadband calculated how much motorists would pay on charging in a month of travelling up to 3,000km, using GridCars charging station pricing and household electricity tariffs when charging at home.
