EV drivers in South Africa urged to limit charging amps
Original: Care and feed of your # EV when out and about in the wilds of # SouthAfrica . Keeping amp limit low - do not wanna blow
An electric vehicle owner in South Africa is advising fellow drivers on how to charge their cars safely when travelling in remote areas. The advice is to keep the amp limit low when using charging points at overnight accommodation, to avoid overloading and damaging the building's wiring, as rural electrical infrastructure may not cope with high charging loads.
Why now: Growing EV adoption in South Africa is prompting drivers to share practical advice about charging in areas with weak electrical infrastructure.
