Bringing electric mobility to NamibiaBased at Omeya Golf Estate, KANDI Namibia specialises in the sales, financing, servicing and maintenance of electric-powered golf carts, UTVs and related mobility solutions.The company aims to provide reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions for golf courses and estates, lodges, game farms, agricultural operations, businesses, residential developments, institutions and private customers.Gerard Erasmus of KANDI Namibia said the company sees an opportunity to make electric mobility a practical option for a wide range of applications in Namibia.“We are excited to bring KANDI to Namibia at a time when businesses and individuals are looking for more efficient and sustainable ways to move people, equipment and goods. Our vehicles are designed for real working environments, whether that is a golf estate, lodge, game farm, agricultural operation or commercial property.”The KANDI range includes electric golf carts as well as utility vehicles designed for more demanding environments. The vehicles offer an alternative to conventional fuel-powered transport, with the potential for lower operating and maintenance costs and zero direct emissions.Among the vehicles being introduced is the ZT-US01 UTV, an electric utility vehicle designed for off-road and working environments. The vehicle features a 10kW AC motor with peak power of up to 25kW, a 73.6V 150Ah lithium battery, independent double-wishbone suspension, hydraulic disc brakes and a minimum ground clearance of 290mm.The UTV offers a claimed cruising range of 80 to 100 kilometres and a cargo-loading capacity of 350kg, with an optional towing capacity of up to 1 000kg. It also features electric power steering, LED lighting, a collapsible pneumatic windscreen, manual four-wheel drive and a low-speed towing mode. More than vehicle salesKANDI Namibia’s offering extends beyond the sale of vehicles. The company will provide financing solutions, scheduled maintenance and repairs, genuine spare parts, battery replacement, vehicle collection and delivery services, and fleet management support.Erasmus said after-sales service would be a key part of the business.“For us, it is about much more than putting an electric vehicle on the market. We want to build a complete support network around our customers so that they have access to servicing, parts and ongoing assistance throughout the life of their vehicle.”The company plans to offer mobile maintenance and repair services, maintenance contracts and flexible financing options as it develops its presence across Namibia.
