Zimbabwe has lagged behind on critical infrastructure like EV charging stations making EVs an unappetising prospect for the nation’s motorists. For those who already had an EV, range anxiety was a real thing as the nearest charging station may have been at their place of employment or home.
“Our charging stations will ease a major concern for consumers looking to move to EVs, by removing the fear of running out of battery on their journey,” Divyajeet Mahajan, DPA Zimbabwe’s Chief Executive Officer
DPA has three charging stations already installed in Msasa (Harare) and there are 17 others that are being installed at various sites across the country.To add on to this, DPA is now offering EV charging stations as a part of its corporate and industrial solar installations. This will surely encourage businesses to replicate.
