EV charging analysis

This route count suggests some potential for intercity travel, but without any local infrastructure, daily driving within the city remains impractical for most residents. The hot climate further compounds the challenge, as high temperatures can reduce battery range by roughly 10-20 percent, making even modest commutes riskier without access to charging.
