Quick Car Mathematics
Let’s do some quick mathematics. So, Zimbabwe’s national transport master plan says the average commuter in Hari travels 15 km a day. What do we have here? We have a brand new GWM Hava H6 GT PHEV. That stands for plugged in hybrid. And it’s a combination of a 1.5 L turbo plus electric motors. For that, you get a lot of torque and a lot of power. But what else do you get? You get a big battery, 35 kWh, that gives you up to 180 km of range on the battery alone. If you combine that with the fuel engine, you get over 1,000 km. You can drive to Blio, no problems. But let’s just say you’re commuting dayto-day, 180 km. Let’s do the math. If you’re driving according to the average Zimbabwean, according to the Transport Master plan, that is 15 km into 180. You only charge this car once in 12 days. Imagine that. And if you’re driving 30 km per day, you’re charging it once in 6 days. If you’re driving 60 km a day, maybe a few of you do, you’re charging it once in 3 days. Imagine that you’re charging off za when you have zesa. It’s cheaper than fuel. Or better yet, if you have solar, you are charging for free driver Mahara Monday to Friday, Monday to Sunday depending on your commute distance. So that is some good mathematics and that is a good reason for you to adopt a plugin hybrid. This one here is a Zimokco. It’s a beautiful B
Plugin Hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) make up the fastest growing vehicle segment in South Africa.
PHEVs such as the GWM Haval H6 GT are now available in Zimbabwe through ZIMOCO.
