EV charging stations in Cape Town

Cape Town has 17 public electric vehicle charging locations on the Open Charge Map register, out of 139 across Western Cape. 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. 14 of the Cape Town locations are recorded as operational. The fastest records 150 kW, which is the figure that decides whether a stop is a coffee or an afternoon. 18 PV GreenCard certified installers give Cape Town as a base or service area, and a home charger is an electrical installation those companies are equipped to quote on. 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.

EV charging in Cape Town: common questions

How many public EV charging stations are there in Cape Town?

17 public charging locations are recorded in Cape Town on the Open Charge Map register, of which 14 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 in Cape Town?

A home charger is a fixed electrical installation and needs a qualified electrician who can issue a certificate of compliance. 18 PV GreenCard certified companies give Cape Town 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.
