What a great advocate for EVs is Andrew! I live in North Carolina USA and we own a Rivian R1T and a Hyundai Ioniq 6. I use my ICE 2014 Chevy Impala for solo road trips. If duet road trips, we can take the Rivian R1T.

@@dianewallace6064 that’s incredible! I absolutely love the look of the Rivian! 🙌 what is it like to live with?

[@dianewallace6064]

@fueledlife3788 We love everything about it. It's very luxury and very EV at the same time. .My husband has a bass boat and tows it with the Rivian at local lakes.

22:00 OMG. Andrew is from North Carolina originally. My husband is a contractor so he understood how to have an electrician install a home charger. I think that step is the biggest barrier. I've only DC fast charged my Hyundai Ioiniq 6 one time. But local driving is super easy. I'm a Chemist so I've studied EVs for years. That is another barrier- a new technology that requires some learning especially if you are not a car person.

The EV adoption rate in South Africa is 0.1%. Ouch. In North Carolina USA it's 7%.

Do you have hybrids and plug in hybrids in South Africa?

[@fueledlife3788]

@@dianewallace6064 yes we do and it is definitely growing.

[@dianewallace6064]

@fueledlife3788 Oh good. Hybrids and plug in hybrids have better gas mileage and fewer carbon emissions. 100% EVs are great for local use and of you can charge at home at night. I only charge my EV 2X a week at home.
