Freedom Won Turns 10 Years Old

PRESS RELEASE

This month marks the official 10-year birthday of Freedom Won – a significant milestone for one of the largest manufacturers of energy storage solutions in Africa.

Freedom Won – Powering the Future (1.4 MWh)

FEATURED ARTICLE

The beautiful Jao Camp based in the pristine Okavango Delta in Botswana was the site of the latest innovation in green energy involving Freedom Won – that of installing the largest Victron off-grid lithium battery system in the world.

Freedom Won – Flying the flag for Entrepreneurship

Freedom Won were recently bestowed the Bronze Award in the Large Business of the Year 2018/2019 category at the National Chambers of Commerce and FNB Business of the Year Awards. The organisation accepted the prestigious award at a spectacular gala event held on 25th May at Silverstar Casino in Krugersdorp.

Freedom Won: The Game Changers In Energy Storage Solutions

Ever imagined a time where you or your business were never affected by load shedding or a power outage? Freedom Won offers Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) energy storage solutions in an integrated, compact and stylish wall unit for residential, business and industrial use to protect against load shedding and outages.

Freedom7 (Fiat 500 converted to pure electric)

In February 2015 the first electric Fiat 500 in Africa rolled off the FreedomWON workshop floor to much interest and excitement – for this is FreedomWON’s new small car premium electric conversion design. Premium means the top end of our single charge range and power offering – this extra special Fiat 500, which of course has been named Freedom7, is capable of reaching an electronically limited speed of 160km/hr and a single charge range of 200km!

The return journey for Freedom3

After all the excitement of the media launch, loading Freedom 3 that night on our trailer and double checking all the tie downs and sitting down with the Freedom Won team, reflecting on the day’s events, myself & Tania finally got a few hours sleep before the long trek of over 1300 km back to Chobe Game Lodge on the banks of Chobe river in North Eastern Chobe National Park, Botswana.

Passing the Test

Antony and Lizette readily took up the challenge and towed Freedom1 up to us, all the way from Krugersdorp, a good 1200 km trek. Chobe Game Lodge is an ECO lodge and we have been pursuing zero emission drive trains for our vehicles and boats for a number of years.

And now – It’s all systems GO!

At the crack of dawn on Saturday morning, 5 Apr ‘14 the wheels started rolling… Chobe Game Lodge’s GM, Johan Bruwer with Landie TD130 and Game Viewing Boat’s 40hp petrol outboard motor in tow, bit the bullet and started the 2-day trek from Botswana to Freedom Won’s home base in South Africa…
