Stephen Grootes speaks to Wendy Knowler about the uncertainty surrounding electric vehicle sales in South Africa, noting that while Naamsa reports 3,251 units sold over the past five years, 1,257 of them last year, Chinese manufacturer BYD does not disclose its figures, and questioning whether it’s reasonable to expect local manufacturers to keep battery components in stock to avoid long delays for customers needing replacements.
