THE COMPLETE SOUTH AFRICAN EV TOOLKIT — 2026 BUNDLE

All four Drive Electric guides and tools in one download — save R101.

Everything you need to choose, buy, charge and run an electric car in South Africa, for R499 instead of R600.

Going electric is one of the biggest purchases you'll make, and every part of it is different from a petrol car: the range, the battery, the charging, the running costs, even how you check a used one. This toolkit covers the whole journey, from "is an EV right for me?" to plugging in at home.

What's included

• The South African EV Buyer's Guide — is an EV right for you, BEV vs PHEV, range and battery basics, real costs, new vs used, questions for the dealer and a pre-purchase checklist
• The South African EV Home Charging & Solar Guide — choosing a charger, what installation should cost, real running costs, solar, the grid and public charging
• The South African Used EV Buyer's Checklist — battery health, warranty and paperwork, grey-import red flags, printable inspection and test-drive checklists, and how to negotiate
• The EV vs Petrol Cost Calculator — enter your own numbers to see your monthly saving, payback period and 5-year cost of ownership

Who this is for

You, if you're:

• Seriously considering your first EV, new or used
• Comparing EVs with petrol or diesel cars
• Planning a home charger or solar setup
• Wanting the full picture before spending R500,000 or more
• Simply trying to avoid an expensive mistake

Created by Drive Electric

We run electric vehicles every day — chauffeur services, tours, corporate mobility, rentals. We buy them, charge them, maintain them and put real kilometres on them. This toolkit comes from that experience, not a manufacturer's marketing department.

Bonus: R100 Drive Electric voucher

Includes a R100 voucher toward your next Drive Electric chauffeur, tour or rental booking — valid for 12 months, revealed inside your guides.
