3About Kriel
--- Kriel's your typical Highveld coal town, sitting between Emalahleni and Secunda off the N12 and R545. Jozi's about 146 km down the road, an easy run, while Secunda Airport is 45 km out. Locals nip between Thubelihle, Bethal and Secunda without much fuss. EV charging's thin on the ground here, so plan ahead. Keep an eye out for the Kriel Power Station's cooling towers, they mark the town long before you arrive.
