Government proposes realising or achieving its ambitious long-term goal of transforming South Africa’s

ANSWER
Part 1: Five Reasons for the Government's New Policy on New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in South Africa
1. Environmental Sustainability: The South African government recognizes the pressing need to
address environmental concerns, such as air pollution and climate change. Transitioning to NEVs
reduces emissions and contributes to a cleaner environment, aligning with global sustainability goals.
2. Economic Growth and Job Creation: Embracing NEVs offers an opportunity for economic growth. By
investing in the NEV industry, South Africa can stimulate job creation, attract foreign investments,
and develop a competitive advantage in a rapidly growing global market.
