In its efforts to pioneer ultra-fast public charging in South Africa, Audi has installed the very first DC 200kW ultra-fast charger in South Africa, which is installed at the largest shopping mall ever built in a single phase – Mall of Africa. The solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed at Mall of Africa is one of the largest of its kind in the Southern hemisphere, ideal for when loadshedding hits.
For perspective, the EV battery of an e-tron GT can be recharged within 15 minutes here.
In addition, Audi South Africa, in partnership with Rubicon, has brought 43 additional electric vehicle (EV) charging stations online across the country. These chargers can accommodate a total of 57 EV cars simultaneously, at varying capacities, regardless of model or brand ownership.
The infrastructure investment comprises four 100kW (DC), eight 60kW (DC), five 25kW (DC) and twenty-five 22kW (AC) fast EV charger installations at convenient locations across the country.
The newly added 43 chargers are spread across the provinces as follows:
| Gauteng | 15 |
| W Cape | 11 |
| E Cape | 10 |
| KZN | 4 |
| Mpumalanga | 2 |
| Free State | 1 |
| Total | 43 |
