City of Johannesburg EV Readiness Support Programme
The primary goal of this project is to build the capacity of City officials in order to be EV ready. EV-readiness requires a deep understanding of the technical abilities of the City to plan for an EV future in terms of the provision of infrastructure and the setting of fair yet attractive tariffs. Therefore, planning for EV uptake within the city requires careful consideration of the technical components of the grid and the business of selling electricity. It also requires to City to determine the applicability of EV for different vehicles and end-uses.
