EV charging analysis

The hot climate further reduces EV battery range, meaning drivers would need to charge more frequently than in temperate regions, yet no public facilities exist to support this. For Durban to become EV-ready, a network of public chargers must be established to serve its large urban population and mitigate the range-reducing effects of high temperatures.
