EV charging station developer objecting to Sanral's proposed policy changes SuperUser Account / Wednesday, March 25, 2026 0 1 Article rating: No rating The developer of a South African nationwide network of solar-powered offgrid electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, Zero Carbon Charge (CHARGE), has formally objected to the South African National Roads Agency Limited’s (Sanral’s) proposed amendments to its Rest and Services Facilities (RSF) policy.

It already has a fully-operational offgrid charging station at Wolmaransstad, on the N12 highway, in the North West province.
