EV Charger Installation in Pretoria

We handle the body-corp paperwork for sectional title (Brooklyn, Lynnwood, Centurion complexes) at no extra cost. Send four photos of your DB board and parking spot; fixed-price quote in 24 hours.
The four things you're worried about
The honest answers, with Pretoria numbers
Most Pretorians asking about EVs have the same four worries. Here's the honest version, with City of Tshwane numbers — not brochure talk. If your answer still feels uncertain after reading these, send us one WhatsApp and we'll run your specific situation.
“I'll get stranded.”
You won't.
Most Pretoria commutes — Hatfield to Centurion, Brooklyn to Menlyn, Lynnwood into the city — are well under 100 km a day. Every EV sold in SA does 300 km+ on a charge. You'll plug in at home overnight and forget petrol stations exist. Tell us your daily drive and we'll show you how much range you'd have spare.
“Load-shedding will leave me unable to charge.”
This is where it gets good.
Pair your EV with solar and you literally make your own fuel — drive on sunshine, ignore the grid and the petrol price. Pretoria sits on the same Highveld irradiation as Joburg, so solar pays back fast. We design every install to keep you charging when the lights go out.
“It's too expensive.”
The sticker scares people; the maths doesn't.
EVs run at about R0.66/km on the City of Tshwane Block 1 tariff (R2.98/kWh) vs R2.40 for petrol. New-EV prices fell 16% in two years (median R790k) and the cheapest sub-R350k BEV is now R339,900. We'll run your real numbers — even if the answer is "wait six months."
“There's nowhere to charge.”
80% of charging happens at home.
Plug in overnight, wake up to a full battery. We install that — fixed price, COC, body-corp paperwork if you're sectional title (and Brooklyn, Lynnwood and Centurion are full of it). For the other 20% there's a live map of every working public charger in the metro — Menlyn Park, Mall of Africa Centurion, Brooklyn Mall, Hatfield Plaza.
“Brooklyn install booked Tuesday, charger fitted by the following Monday. Clean job, COC in hand, no surprises.” — Verified customer · Brooklyn

Why Pretoria is different
Three things you won't find on a JHB installer's quote
Pretoria has the Tshwane prepaid tariff, a dealer cluster around Menlyn + Centurion, and east-suburbs sectional title. Three things that shape a home install.
City of Tshwane tariff is prepaid + cheap
Block 1 at R2.98/kWh on prepaid (City of Tshwane). Cheaper than the Cape coastline, slightly above City Power’s rate. Overnight EV charging works out at about R0.66/km.
Sectional title is most of our work
~60% of Pretoria installs are apartments and clusters. We draft body-corporate motivation at no extra cost and handle the trustees-meeting cadence.
Highest dealer density in SA
BB BYD Hatfield, CMH Volvo Menlyn, BMW Menlyn, Mercedes Menlyn — within 10 km of each other. Multi-brand test-drive days are easy.
