The 568-kilometre route from Johannesburg to Durban presents a significant challenge for electric vehicle drivers, as there are zero charging stations on the route and no stations in either departure or destination city. With a drive duration of 389 minutes, drivers must rely on a fully charged battery capable of covering the entire distance without intermediate top-ups, a requirement that may exceed the real-world range of many current EVs, especially given the hot climate of both cities, which can reduce battery efficiency and increase energy consumption for cabin cooling. The absence of charging infrastructure means that drivers must plan for a single, extended charging stop before departure or after arrival, or risk being stranded. Since the route is not cross-border, all travel occurs within South Africa, but the lack of public chargers along this major corridor underscores the need for careful pre-trip planning and reliance on destination charging in Durban.
