EV drivers in South Africa urged to charge cautiously

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 describes the care needed when charging away from home, particularly in rural areas. By keeping the amp limit low, drivers can avoid overloading the wiring at overnight accommodation, where electrical infrastructure may not cope with high charging loads. It highlights the practical challenges of EV travel in the country, where charging networks and older wiring can be unreliable.

Why now: EV charging outside cities raises concerns about overloading older electrical wiring, a practical worry for South African drivers.
