SA’s First Electric Minibus Taxi to Hit Cape Town Roads
Story 2
South Africa’s first electric minibus taxi, the eKamva, is set to begin operating in Cape Town’s Century City in October 2026.
The 15-seater can travel over 200 kilometres on a single charge and recharges fully in just over an hour with a fast charger, or overnight in ten hours.
Developed by a GoMetro-led consortium, the project aims to reduce emissions and fuel costs in the taxi industry while supporting local operators with long-term savings.
Each vehicle is expected to cut roughly 13.7 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year, forming part of a wider electric vehicle ecosystem including charging infrastructure and new support models for taxi operators.
