It seems like there should be some loophole you could exploit like calling it an experimental vehicle or something along those lines. You will likely have to consult a lawyer who knows your country's laws and how to move around in them. Or, you may need to take on the role of advocate and raise enough awareness to get the law changed. The media could be your freind with that.
EV Registration for legal road use
Hi All, from a Sunny South Africa.
Tell me, are we the only country that does not make provision for the legal registration of converted vehicles for road use. Apparently we cannot register a vehicle that has been converted from ICE to EV
, the reason, the electric motor serial number does not comply with the "engine" number requirements on the system for such registration. What a load of ......
Any South Africans out there with a similar problem?, perhaps you have found a way to get an EV registered. Let's chat.
If you have some ideas please let me know as I have one and several friends have as well, but we can't use them (Legally that is).
Either reply on the forum, or drop me a mail at [email protected], I need to get mine (and others) on the road ASAP.
Cheers
JonB
