EV charging analysis

The hot climate further reduces effective range, compounding the challenge of sparse charging availability. For a city of this size, the gap between planned routes and actual stations highlights a critical infrastructure lag. Until charging points are installed, the city’s EV adoption will remain negligible, and the planned routes will serve only transit traffic rather than local commuters. This places Nelspruit in a preparatory phase, where policy and planning outpace physical deployment.
