We talk of disruption in markets and of not shifting raw material across the world to be manufactured into a useful product and then shipped back to the people that mined the raw material to purchase.
In South Africa we talk of loadshedding being a major stumbling block for Electrical Vehicle (EV) Adoption, forgetting that we have adbundant sunshine that most EV adopters ahave also turned to to charge their vehicles and power their homes.
We talk of a lack of skilled labour and how we need to simulate employment and yet that is all we do; “Talk!”
In Gqeberha we have the Coega Industrial Development Zone on our doorstep, the Port of Nqura on our doorstep, raw materials to manufacture steel and batteries passing through our Ports, only to return as Value Added goods.
In Gqeberha we talk about being the automotive capital of South Africa. BUT, we aim too low – we need to become the automotive EV Hub of Africa AND, if the legacy automotive manufacturers are taking too long to start their electric engines then maybe Helixx has the answer for us.
