Pushing boundaries together for a greener SA! 🇿🇦⚡

We had an incredible time at The The Open Letter event! A big shoutout and thank you to the team for including Zimi in such meaningful conversations. 🎬🙌

Our CEO, Michael Maas, joined the panel discussion to share how we are simplifying the shift to electric fleets. We also heard from Jamaine Chiwaye at Capitec Business, who spoke about why Capitec invested in the event to back local, fast-growing tech companies.

Much like the spirit of this event, we see the immense potential in South African businesses. We are completely locked into making EVs possible, standing side-by-side with our clients from start to finish to ensure real, lasting cost savings.

We’d love to invite you to join us on this journey toward a greener South Africa while dramatically future-proofing your fleet and lowering your cost per kilometre.

Digitizing Transport: Insights from the Transport Evolution Expo

The South African transport landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by data, integration, and the urgent need for operational efficiency.

Reflecting on our time at the Transport Evolution conference in Johannesburg, Zimi Charge CEO Michael Maas connected with Renko Bergh, CEO of our partner Control Fleet, to discuss the ongoing transformation within the industry.

Renko highlighted a critical truth for modern fleet operators: the future lies in capitalizing on the fourth industrial revolution and fully digitizing transport operations. As traditional fuel markets continue to pressure logistics margins, the integration of advanced fleet management software with electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is no longer a luxury—it’s a strategic imperative.

At Zimi, we provide the ultimate ecosystem for this transition:

Vehicles: Purpose-built commercial EVs.
Power: Seamless charging infrastructure.
Data: End-to-end visibility on a unified platform.

Thank you to the Control Fleet team for sharing their insights. Let’s continue to drive the future of South African logistics forward.
