03 / GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you
make the switch.
Start with clear answers from the people supplying your vehicle.
Is home charging equipment included?
The supplied material does not establish a complete Malawi delivery package. Ask GIRACH to confirm the connector, cable, wallbox, installation scope and costs in writing.
Are the quoted ranges guaranteed?
No. The VIGO brochure lists a CLTC range of up to 471 km for the 51.87 kWh version. The BOX brochure lists 430 km without clearly identifying the cycle. Actual driving range depends on the vehicle, driving conditions and energy use.
Can I rely on the brochure’s MWK 8,000 full-charge cost?
That promotional figure is tied to a domestic ESCOM tariff dated 19 January 2026. This site does not treat it as a current quotation. Use your current tariff and account for charging losses.
Where can I charge away from home?
Ask GIRACH about currently compatible charging options for your intended routes. This website does not claim a verified national charging network or live station availability.
Can I use solar power to charge?
Discuss your proposed electrical installation and charging equipment with GIRACH and a qualified installer. The brochures do not specify a solar charging package or approved solar-system design.
