Goverment dragging feet on EVs policies

GAUTENG – Motor industry leaders collectively complained that the government was threatening the future of the SA motor industry by dragging its feet on policy for electric vehicles (EVs). The industry contributes a considerable amount of revenue to South Africa’s GDP and future investments are already being put at risk from EV indecision. Despite this, Trade, Industry and Competition minister Ebrahim Patel told parliament on Friday that they may have to wait another year for a decision.
