Tech Tuesday with Theunis - injection of hope for the local EV industry
--:--
In the years between 1985 and 1999, there existed a wildly popular Australian magazine tv programme called "Beyond 2000", somewhat akin to "The Gadget Show" of more recent years. It focused on global tech advancements, and painted a rosy picture of the future coloured with flying cars, zero dependency on fossil fuels and and a pollution-free environment...some of the technological prophecies we saw on that show have come true in our times, but some still struggle to find a strong foothold in the new millenium. Maybe none more so than electric vehicles, with range anxiety and affordability being some of the main sticking points. Theunis Jansen van Rensburg from Bandwidth Blog chats to Keeno Lee about the new factory springing up in the Eastern Cape that might be the gamechanger that the local E.V. industry needs..
