EV charging stations in South Africa
South Africa has 532 public electric vehicle charging locations on the Open Charge Map register, spread across 9 of the nine provinces. Charging locations come from Open Charge Map, a non-profit community register of public charge points, and are published here under its Creative Commons Attribution licence. 390 of them are currently recorded as operational; the remainder are listed with the status the register gives them rather than hidden. Coverage is concentrated in Gauteng (203), Western Cape (139), Eastern Cape (50). 197 locations record a DC connector, which is the type that charges a car in minutes rather than hours. 15 cities have enough charge points to warrant their own page here. SunVerified does not receive live availability from these networks, so a station listed as operational may still be occupied or out of service when you arrive; check the operator's own app before relying on one.

A city gets a page once at least three charge points are recorded there. Everywhere else is covered on its province page.

EV charging in South Africa: common questions
How many public EV charging stations are there in South Africa?
532 public charging locations are recorded in South Africa on the Open Charge Map register, of which 390 are listed as operational. The register is community-maintained, so a very new site may not appear for a while.
Does this page show whether a charger is free right now?
No. SunVerified does not receive live availability from these networks, so a station listed as operational may still be occupied or out of service when you arrive; check the operator's own app before relying on one. Every station here links to its Open Charge Map entry, which is where the operator and any recent user comments can be checked.
Who can install a home EV charger?
A home charger is a fixed electrical installation and needs a qualified electrician who can issue a certificate of compliance. 410 PV GreenCard certified companies give undefined as a base or service area; that certification covers solar PV specifically, so confirm EV charger experience directly before booking.
Can I charge an electric car from solar panels?
Yes, though the practical constraint is timing rather than capacity. Charging draws several kilowatts for hours, so it works best when the car is parked during daylight or when a battery can carry the load. Any installer quoting on this should size the array and inverter for the charger, not add it afterwards.
