EV Rantals

Hey everyone, just wondering if there are short term electric (hybrid/REEV) car rental services available, especially around Gauteng. I've checked out Drive Electric but it seems they are only focused on long-term rentals lately.

I don't own an EV yet but for me I think it's the way to go. So, before I commit I'd much rather prefer to rent one for a couple of days to a week to see and experience first-hand. I've done some test drives from dealerships but a 10-15min drive doesn't give me any useful experience.

Are car rental companies sleeping on NEVs?

Can I Get An Item Stolen & Sold To Cash Converters?

Good morning and I hope everyone is having a better morning than me at this point. Quick context - my step-son has just admitted to stealing my digital camera and selling it to Cash Converters along with a 128GB memory card that has priceless memories. Is there a chance of me getting them back before they are sold?

He took the camera yesterday morning and sold it a few hours later, I've checked their website and it seems they haven't listed it yet.

UPDATE: I've got the memory card back. He's still trying to get the camera. If he can't. I'm selling his laptop 🤷🏽

Cheaper Home Fibre Options...

Hey South Africa, I'm currently on an RSAWeb 50/50mbps fibre plan costing R854 p/m. I need a cheaper option because I'm trying to cut down on pretty much everything. I've tried checking the web for options and I've seen a few but maybe there are other options with decent speeds that I've haven't come across and I'd appreciate your in put. I'm in the Centurion, GP area.

Is It A Good Buy?

Just curious, came across this on a popular (South African) website. These are quite rare around here but I love them, only ever seen one on the road.

​

~$13111/R213900

- 105 813 miles/170 290 km

- 2017 V90 CC D5 AWD

- No specified issues on website

​

If I were to get this, with its age and mileage, what can I expect in terms of known issues, maintenance, and life left in it?

​

I could trade in my 2019 T3 V40 for almost the same amount. It has nearly 80k km/50k miles on it with just a few issues.
