GreenCape has recently partnered with BMW South Africa to arrange a year-long paid-for lease of a BMW i3 electric vehicle (EV). By replacing one of the three leased vehicles in the company fleet with the BMW i3, we hope to explore the new world of EVs, identifying some of unexpected positives and challenges in this fast emerging sector in South Africa.
Keen observers are welcome to follow our journey both here, and on twitter (@thegreencape) where we will be posting updates on our EV using the hastag #FollowourEV.
As part of the process, we’ve asked our staff to write down their thoughts following their first experience of driving the EV and we will periodically be publishing these. It goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway, the views expressed in these write ups are those of the individual concerned, and do not necessarily reflect GreenCape’s stand point.
