EV charging analysis

The hot climate can reduce battery efficiency, potentially shortening real-world range by 10-20 percent, which compounds the lack of infrastructure. Without any estimated EVs on the road, the city remains in a pre-adoption phase, relying entirely on home charging for any early adopters. The route count suggests strategic intent to link Pretoria to other hubs, but for now, daily driving an EV here would require careful trip planning and access to private charging, making the city one of the least EV-ready urban centers in Africa.
