South African electric mobility company Everlectric has reached a significant milestone, with its commercial electric vehicle (EV) fleet surpassing 11 million kilometres on local roads, while preventing more than 2,500 tonnes of carbon emissions. The achievement marks one of the strongest real-world indicators to-date that electric commercial fleets can operate reliably at scale in SA’s…

Fuel price increases are being driven by global events. Even with some movement on opening up the Strait, the impact doesn’t disappear overnight. Locally, there’s talk of increases of R6 to R9 per litre. That’s not something businesses can absorb easily. The reality is that fuel prices are volatile. Electric fleets change that. You’re not…

At a time when oil price volatility is once again pushing fuel costs higher, many businesses are looking more closely at how exposed their operations are to global energy shocks. When fuel prices move, transport costs move with them and that flows through logistics budgets and operating costs. That is why fleet electrification is increasingly…

Demand-side reform, rather than manufacturing incentives, will be critical to accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption in South Africa, says electric mobility company Everlectric chief commercial officer Paul Plummer. As South Africa moves towards implementing new manufacturing tax incentives for electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles in 2026, Plummer says the focus has largely been on industrial policy. The incentives include a 150% investment allowance for producers under…

Electric vehicle-as-a-service firm Everlectric expands fleet portfolio, introducing delivery vans, larger panel vans and urban distribution trucks.

EV-as-a-service is a month-to-month, use-based vehicle subscription and an alternative to the traditional purchase of fleets. Everlectric…

2026 is the year when the economics of fleet electrification become more compelling than ever for a broader range of operators. The convergence of new vehicle classes, clearer operating economics and instability in fuel prices including South Africa’s Electric Vehicles White Paper, create a practical environment for last-mile and urban logistics fleets to begin electrifying…

Proud to be featured in Renewable Energy Solutions through Investec’s Sustainable Solutions work. The edition includes coverage on how sustainability is becoming a core business strategy as well as a detailed look at the pharma-compliant EV fleet we’ve delivered with UPD and Investec. Thank you to Investec for the support and collaboration behind this work.…

Electrification isn’t one-size-fits-all. For many urban fleets with predictable, return-to-base routes, it has moved from theory to something that genuinely works in practice. As more EV options become available and operating data grows, fleet decisions are becoming smarter, more targeted, and more commercially grounded. 2026 is shaping up as a decisive year for truck fleet electrification in South…
