Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Versatility

Public Transport Vehicle-to-Grid - Energy Market Resilient Smart-Grid Infrastructure

Circular Economy - eWaste of Batteries

• Reuse

Using EV battery packs for grid storage application

• Refabricate

Involves dismantling the EV battery packs, assessing each cell, then remanufacturing a reconditioned battery pack

• Recycling

Actual recycling of cell chemistry

Automotive sector is one of the largest manufacturing sectors in the SA economy (Approx. 601,000 vehicles produced in 2017) OEM Employment Levels: 30,000 Supplier Employment Level: 80,000 Additional fuel quality challenges to progress to lower emissions

Sustainable Transport Showcases in South Africa

SA 2030 National Development Plan Extracts

Milestones:

• Broadening access to employment
• Establish effective, safe and affordable public transport
• Reduce carbon emissions
• Boost competitiveness and exports
• Public infrastructure investment focused on transport, energy and water
• Establish a competitive base of infrastructure, human resources and regulatory frameworks
• Ensure environmental sustainability and resilience

Critical Actions:

• The green economy agenda will be leveraged to promote deeper industrialisation,

energy efficiency and employment

• Building sustainable communities: Reducing the carbon footprint and economic

costs of transport

• Over the short term, policy needs to respond quickly and effectively to protect the

natural environment and mitigate the effects of climate change

South Africa’s Legislation Targets #GreenMobility

• Dept. of Energy: Energy Strategic Plan
• Dept. of Science & Technology: 10 Year Innovation Plan
• Dep. of Transport: Green Transport Strategy
• Dept. of Environmental Affairs: National Climate Change Response Strategy
• National Energy Efficiency Strategy
• Industrial Policy Action Plan
• Integrated Resource Plan

Green Transport Strategy 2050

• Transport sector has been identified as the fastest growing source
• f greenhouse gas emissions
• Direct emissions from road transport account for 91,2% of emissions

within the transport sector

Strategic Objectives:

• Promoting the development of an efficient integrated transport system to enable socio-economic

development

• Achieve modal shifts in the transport sector that reduce green-house gases, congestion and

economic efficiency

• Reduce fossil-fuel related emissions in the transport sector
• Promote the use of electric vehicles and environmentally sustainable low carbon fuels
• Promote strategies for delivering transport infrastructure and integrated transit planning that builds

climate resilience

Cabinet Approved August 2018

Frameworks towards adoption of eMobility

• Development of adequate policy packages
• Subsidies (Financial and non-financial considerations)
• Taxes
• Regulations
• Establishment of localised pilot projects
• Strategies to finance the transformation towards electric mobility
• Technology localisation and industrialisation initiatives
• Skills, Women and Youth Development

Africa’s opportunities for promising eMobility solutions
