E-mobility expert to follow on LinkedIn 

Electric mobility isn’t some distant future, it’s happening right now. And if one person is making sure South Africa is riding the wave, it’s Ndia Magadagela, Co-Founder of Everlectric.

Ndia isn’t here for endless debates about why we should switch to EVs, she’s busy making it happen. Her company, Everlectric, has basically removed every excuse businesses have for not going electric. Too expensive? They’ve got the financing covered. Complicated logistics? Sorted. Charging infrastructure? Handled. All that’s left to do is plug in and go.

And big companies are noticing. United Pharmaceutical Distributors is already rolling out an electric fleet with Everlectric, cutting one ton of CO₂ per vehicle every month and saving a jaw-dropping 6.3 million kg of emissions over its lifespan. That’s not just a small step, it’s a full-on sprint toward a greener future.

But Ndia isn’t just making deals, she’s sharing the journey. On LinkedIn, she’s dropping real insights on scaling green businesses, securing investment, and what it actually takes to make EVs work in Africa. And she’s not just watching from the sidelines; she’s out there, from South Africa to Lagos, connecting with industry leaders and shaping the future of sustainable transport.

If you’re even remotely curious about electric mobility, entrepreneurship, or just love seeing game-changers in action, Ndia Magadagela is a must-follow. Keep her on your radar, you won’t want to miss what’s next.
