Zimi Charge

Zimi Secures €280,000 Grant to Launch Africa’s First Commercial V2G Project ⚡🚗 Zimi is honoured to be selected by EEP Africa to receive a €280,000 grant supporting the rollout of Africa’s first commercial vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging solution. This pioneering project will showcase how electric vehicles can do more than drive — they can stabilise the grid, support energy resilience, and accelerate the clean energy transition. As South Africa faces persistent energy challenges, V2G presents a transformative opportunity to reimagine how we generate, store, and share power. We are grateful to EEP Africa for backing this innovation, and we look forward to demonstrating its impact. 📩 For media or partnership enquiries, please contact michael@zimicharge.com #V2G #EVcharging #CleanTech #EnergyInnovation #Sustainability #EEPafrica #ElectricVehicles #ZimiCharge
