Interview With Greg Maruszewski, Managing Director Of Volvo Cars South Africa
RJK:The market currently is fairly soft, more or less flat versus last year. Knowing that last year, there were quite a few manufacturers with supply issues, which have to some extent been resolved now, it does point to a market which has demand constraints. However, I do think it should pick up towards the end of the year if there are no further negative news on the horizon.Currently a very small portion of the total car market is EV, but that is growing quickly, albeit off a small base.
RJK: Some OEMs have partnered with EV charging companies to roll out charging networks across South Africa — do you have plans to do the same?We do not believe that this sort of marketing is effective. You don’t see petrol pumps being branded with various car brands, why electric stations? We would rather invest more directly in educating the public about EVs as well as communicate the benefits of EV to the general public.
