EV charging analysis

The hot climate can reduce battery range by roughly 10-15 percent, further limiting practical travel distances between charging opportunities. For now, Cairns is not ready for widespread EV adoption, and daily driving beyond short local trips would be challenging without significant expansion of public charging points.
