The Electric Mobility Program South Africa is proposed for registration under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) The Project is a Grouped Project with multiple Project Activity Instances (PAIs). Zeroca is the Project Participant (PP) with overall control and responsibility for the project. The Project includes multiple PAIs of individual Project Owners which control and operate project activities and which have a contract with Zeroca.
The program will accelerate the transition to e-mobility through the participation of various key actors linked to the transportation sector (owners, suppliers or manufacturers of the technology, investors, operators, leasing companies, among others). It includes only battery– electric vehicles. Hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel-cell electric vehicles are not included.
The program will promote e-mobility through the expansion of charging infrastructure for light-duty vehicles and the acceleration of the transition to electric vehicles of the following categories:
- Motorcycles and 3-wheeled vehicles (tricycles);
- Passenger cars, including taxis and ride-hailing vehicles;
- Pick-ups;
- Light commercial vehicles, including vans and minibus taxis;
- Urban and intercity buses for passenger transportation;
- Heavy vehicles and trucks.
The program is expected to have coverage throughout the country, to support the widespread use of low-emission transportation, which, in addition to contributing to the mitigation of climate change, will also have benefits for people’s health and quality of life by reducing air and noise pollution.
We are currently advancing in the early stages of evaluation to subsequently request registration in the VCS standard. You can contact us at southafrica@zeroca.world to present your questions or concerns.
