EV Battery World was founded on a simple belief: EV and hybrid drivers in South Africa shouldn't have to choose between an unaffordable dealer battery replacement and driving a compromised vehicle.
South Africa's EV market is growing fast — but the support infrastructure hasn't kept up. When a Toyota Prius battery fails, dealers quote R80,000–R120,000 for a new pack. When a BMW i3 loses range, the answer is a R185,000 replacement. These prices are forcing South African EV and hybrid owners off the road.
EV Battery World was built to change this. We invest in the diagnostic tools, cell-level repair capabilities and EV-specific expertise to offer a genuinely better alternative: repair what's broken, restore what's degraded, and upgrade what can be improved.
Our approach keeps batteries out of landfill, puts money back in our clients' pockets, and keeps South Africa's growing EV fleet moving.
Every member of our technical team holds formal high-voltage safety certification and undergoes ongoing platform-specific training as new EV models arrive in South Africa.
15+ years in automotive electrical systems, 8 years specialising in EV and hybrid traction battery systems. Trained on Toyota THS, BMW eDrive and Tesla platforms. Leads all complex cell-level surgeries.
Electronics engineering background with expertise in battery management systems, CAN bus diagnostics and firmware analysis across all major EV platforms. Developed our proprietary SoH diagnostic protocol.
Responsible for ensuring all work at EV Battery World meets and exceeds IEC 62368, ISO 6469 and South African SANS high-voltage safety standards. Manages all PPE, tooling and facility safety protocols.
We show you exactly what's wrong before we touch it. Every diagnostic includes a written report with photos and data. You get all the information you need to make an informed decision — no pressure, no surprises on the invoice.
Every battery we repair is one fewer pack in a landfill. We operate a responsible cell recycling programme, source second-life cells where appropriate, and track our environmental impact. EV adoption only helps if the batteries are properly managed at end of life.
Generic EV service procedures are designed for European or American climates. Our protocols are built around SA's extreme heat, high-altitude operation, variable grid quality and long-distance driving patterns. We know what South African batteries actually face.
Every reconditioned pack carries our written 2-year capacity warranty. Every cell replacement is backed by a 12-month warranty. We stand behind our work because we only do work we're confident in.
