Harnessing electric vehicles for industrial development in South Africa

  • Year 2020
  • Organisation Report by TIPS and Change Pathways for the DTIC and NAAMSA
  • Author(s) Gaylor Montmasson-Clair (TIPS), Anthony Dane (Change Pathways), Lesego Moshikaro (TIPS)
  • Countries and Regions South Africa
The world of mobility is rapidly evolving worldwide. Technological developments are notably enabling the diversification of drivetrains, away from traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) towards electric and other alternative motors. While EVs still account for a marginal share of global vehicle sales, the shift is evident in leading markets. All forecasts point to…"

Exploring the policy impacts of a transition to electric vehicles in South Africa

  • Year 2019
  • Organisation Change Pathways and TIPS
  • Author(s) Anthony Dane, Dave Wright and Gaylor Montmasson-Clair
  • Countries and Regions South Africa
The world is moving quickly towards electric vehicles (EVs). South Africa needs to prepare for this to manage the negative transition impacts and maximise the positive impacts. This policy brief explores the opportunity to develop a proactive policy framework that would shape and drive a just transition for the benefit of all South Africans."
