Executive Summary

The EV Opportunity

LEVEL UP is developing a premium electric vehicle charging network focused on high-value commercial property throughout South Africa. We partner with shopping centres, office parks, hotels and commercial developments to finance, install, operate and maintain EV charging infrastructure — generating recurring revenue through energy sales.

  • Early growth stage. South Africa has entered the early growth stage of EV adoption — the window for first movers is open now.
  • Supply is accelerating. BYD, BMW, Volvo, GWM, Mini, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Chery are rapidly increasing the number of EVs entering the market.
  • Infrastructure lags demand. Charging infrastructure remains limited, creating a clear gap between the cars on the road and the places to charge them.
  • First-mover advantage. An opportunity for LEVEL UP to establish a premium charging network before the market reaches maturity.

For Drivers

Charging That Just Works

A charger you can rely on, at a place you already want to be. Plug in, tap, and get on with your day — no cards to hunt for, no guessing what it costs.

Step 01

Connect

Plug the connector into your car.

Step 02

Authenticate

Tap the app, an RFID card or contactless.

Step 03

Charge

Track the session live from your phone.

Step 04

Complete

Unplug and go. Payment settles itself.

Chargers That Are Actually Working

Every unit is monitored in real time with proactive maintenance. A charger that's out of service is worse than no charger at all — so we fix faults before you arrive.

Charge Where You're Already Going

Shopping centres, hotels, office parks and dealerships. Do the grocery run, have a coffee or take a meeting — the 30 to 90 minutes you're parked is time you'd have spent anyway.

Safe, Lit and Covered

Clearly marked bays with wheel stoppers, proper signage and lighting, inside monitored parking. Solar-canopy sites keep you and your car out of the sun and rain.

Pay However You Like

In-app wallet, RFID card or contactless. No pre-loading a dozen different networks, no cash, no attendant to find. Corporate and fleet drivers bill straight to the company account.

You See Every Cent

Live kWh, cost and battery percentage while you charge, and a full session history afterwards. One published rate per connector type — no peak surcharges or idle penalties.

A Real Person to Call

A local South African support team, reachable from the app or the number on the charger. If a session won't start, someone who can actually help picks up.

AC Charging R5.88 per kWh · up to 22 kW · ideal for longer stops
DC Fast Charging R7.35 per kWh · up to 60 kW · top up in minutes

What that looks like in practice

Twenty minutes on a 60 kW DC charger delivers roughly 20 kWh — about 154 km of range for around R147. Enough to get home, and about as long as a coffee and a grocery run.

Assumes a vehicle averaging 13 kWh/100 km charging at full rate. Real figures vary with your car, battery state and temperature.
