Saldanha
Saldanha, on the West Coast about 140 km up the R27 from Cape Town, is home to Africa's biggest natural harbor and a busy iron ore export terminal, plus a navy base. Locals nip through to Vredenburg, Langebaan, or Jacobsbaai for the day, while road-trippers roll in from as far as Addo or Tulbagh. Saldanha/Vredenburg Airport is just 7 km out, and about 5 fast chargers are dotted around for EV drivers passing through. Fun fact: the ore trains rolling in daily come all the way from Sishen on one of the world's longest heavy-haul rail lines.
