Is it just me or is this circus getting silly

Just imagine how laborious it must be for electric car drivers to plan a longer trip, first you have to hunt for a charging station then make sure it won’t be load shedding when they arrive there. What a pita, even just keeping it charged at home must be painful with all the loadshedding at the moment.

Depends very much on your use. You can charge at 8KW single phase or 11KW 3 phase (with proper charge equipment), so in an hour you can charge about 50-90km worth of usage. If you charge every night, it doesn't take long.
