An all-electric Geely E2 will make an on-stage entrance in Janice Honeyman’s Alice in Wonderland pantomime at Joburg Theatre, as part of a partnership between Geely South Africa and the annual production.
Dame Fanny Floppalot, played by Desmond Dube, arrives on stage in a crisp white E2. Climate-conscious characters El Niño and El Niña join the cast, and the show uses the car to introduce younger audiences and their families to electric mobility.
Why Geely chose the Joburg pantomime
The pantomime is a Joburg institution that brings generations of families together through humour, music and song. Geely is a relatively new name in South Africa, and the company says it intends to become a lasting part of the local motoring landscape.
Greg Maruszewski of Geely South Africa said building brand recognition is “about creating meaningful experiences and building connections with people over time”, adding that the partnership “allows people to experience Geely in a setting that is familiar, joyful and shared across generations.” The cast also includes Brendan Van Rhyn as the Queen of Hearts.
Geely E2 range, charging and space
The compact electric car has a claimed WLTP range of up to 325 km. DC fast charging takes the battery from 30% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes.
Luggage space comes to 375 litres in the boot, with a further 70-litre front trunk. A digital cabin and available advanced driver-assistance features complete the package.
Global sales of the E2
Known as the EX2 in other markets, the model passed one million cumulative global sales in two years, Geely announced in November 2026. According to IHS Markit figures cited by the carmaker, it was the world’s best-selling car in the A- and B-segments in 2025.
Geely E2 price in South Africa
