Electric vehicle (EV) charging station developer Zero Carbon Charge has broken ground on its first 100% renewable energy charging station in Wolmaransstad, in the North West, in what is to become South Africa’s first national network of 120 solar-powered charging facilities spaced out at 150 km intervals. The first Zero Carbon Charge facility at Wolmaransstad is due for completion in June next year and is differentiated from existing EV charging stations that are connected to State-owned Eskom’s predominantly coal-powered grid.
