South Africa is gearing up for an exciting electric vehicle (EV) future as Toyota and Volkswagen plan to launch locally assembled EVs in 2026. Thanks to government incentives and local manufacturing, these cars will be more affordable and easier to own than ever before. This shift means cleaner air, new jobs, and a fresh start for the country’s car industry. Though challenges like power supply and charging stations remain, South Africans are ready to embrace this new, greener way to drive.
