The four things you're worried about
The honest answers, with Stellenbosch numbers
Most Pretorians asking about EVs have the same four worries. Here's the honest version, with City of Tshwane numbers — not brochure talk. If your answer still feels uncertain after reading these, send us one WhatsApp and we'll run your specific situation.
“I'll get stranded.”
You won't.
Most Pretoria commutes — Hatfield to Centurion, Brooklyn to Menlyn, Lynnwood into the city — are well under 100 km a day. Every EV sold in SA does 300 km+ on a charge. You'll plug in at home overnight and forget petrol stations exist. Tell us your daily drive and we'll show you how much range you'd have spare.
“Load-shedding will leave me unable to charge.”
This is where it gets good.
Pair your EV with solar and you literally make your own fuel — drive on sunshine, ignore the grid and the petrol price. Pretoria sits on the same Highveld irradiation as Joburg, so solar pays back fast. We design every install to keep you charging when the lights go out.
“It's too expensive.”
The sticker scares people; the maths doesn't.
EVs run at about R0.66/km on the City of Tshwane Block 1 tariff (R2.98/kWh) vs R2.40 for petrol. New-EV prices fell 16% in two years (median R790k) and the cheapest sub-R350k BEV is now R339,900. We'll run your real numbers — even if the answer is "wait six months."
“There's nowhere to charge.”
80% of charging happens at home.
Plug in overnight, wake up to a full battery. We install that — fixed price, COC, body-corp paperwork if you're sectional title (and Brooklyn, Lynnwood and Centurion are full of it). For the other 20% there's a live map of every working public charger in the metro — Menlyn Park, Mall of Africa Centurion, Brooklyn Mall, Hatfield Plaza.

Why Stellenbosch is different
Three things you won't find on a JHB installer's quote
Stellenbosch has its own municipal grid + cheap tariff, a wine-country / university dual buyer pool, and a coastal microclimate in the Helderberg. Three things that shape a home install.
Stellenbosch Municipality tariff is among SA's cheapest
Block 1 at R1.91/kWh — meaningfully below Cape Town's R3.38. Overnight EV charging works out at about R0.38/km, the lowest urban running cost in the country.
Sectional title + estate paperwork is most of our work
Welgevonden, De Zalze, Helderberg Village and Eikestad sectional title together account for the bulk of our jobs. We draft body-corporate motivation at no extra cost and handle the trustees-meeting cadence.
Helderberg coastal spec is real
Strand and Gordon's Bay walls catch the Cape Doctor — salt aerosol off False Bay. Standard inland wallboxes visibly corrode within 18 months. We insist on marine-grade IP65+ enclosures + stainless mounts on every coastal install.
