The all-electric EX30 Cross Country has proven that EVs can handle South Africa’s toughest terrain, becoming the first fully electric vehicle to successfully climb Sani Pass.
The EX30 Cross Country achieved this feat powered entirely by the country’s highest solar-powered charger, marking a significant milestone for electric mobility.
Sani Pass stretches through the breathtaking Drakensberg Mountains, testing a vehicle’s power, control, and endurance with its steep and narrow trails.
Long before engines roared, Basotho shepherds traversed these twisting, narrow trails to trade livestock and goods, navigating the mountains with courage and determination.
The EX30 Cross Country has officially joined the list of conquerors of Sani Pass, 56 years after the first Volvo tackled the pass.
