Eskom Takes the Leap into the Future: A Bold Move towards a Carbon-Free Fleet
In a move that will send shockwaves throughout the energy sector, Eskom has launched its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure pilot project at the Eskom Academy of Learning in Midrand, Gauteng. This is a declaration of war on fossil fuels and a bold bet on the future of electric mobility.
With the procurement of 20 EVs and the installation of 10 charging stations across five Eskom sites, this initiative marks the beginning of the end for internal combustion engines in Eskom’s fleet. The real question is, why did it take them so long?
But Eskom is not just paying lip service to the e-mobility revolution. They are all in, with a long-term strategy to electrify their entire fleet by 2040. And it’s not just about reducing carbon emissions, it’s about creating new opportunities for growth and stimulating the local economy.
"We are not just reducing our carbon footprint, we are revolutionizing the way we do business," says Gabriel Kgabo, GM in the office of the Eskom group executive for distribution. "By investing in e-mobility, we are positioning ourselves as leaders in the energy sector and creating a sustainable future for generations to come."
And it’s not just Eskom that’s getting in on the action. Government has announced plans to roll out EVs nationwide, paving the way for a carbon-free future.
So, buckle up and get ready for a ride into the future, where electric vehicles will be the norm and fossil fuels will be a thing of the past. Eskom’s bold move is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.
