Guest:  Ian Maclaren

Independent motoring journalist, Ian Maclaren, says he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about the arrival of electric cars on the market in South Africa.
But he changed his mind after a recent road trip for a feature he was writing which saw him drive an all-electric Porsche from Cape Town to George and back.
Ian says the trip proved fascinating, not only because of what a modern electric car is capable of , but also because he discovered that there is actually infrastructure in place to charge an electric vehicle.
