The title of the “cheapest EV in South Africa” changed a few times this year. The previous passenger electric car to hold the title was the second-generation Mini Cooper SE, before it was dethroned by three Chinese EVs.

The GWM Ora launched at R686 950, followed by the BYD Dolphin at R539 900, and then the ultra-compact Dayun Yuehu S5, available through importers Enviro Auto, at R399 900.
