One of the many objections to EVs that people throw up is that they can't work in more remote parts of Australia. In fact, as the Americans show here, they make even more sense there than in the cities. They save even more money than city EVs, in both fuel and maintenance. And many more people are on the electricity grid than have quick access to a petrol station, and some towns have no petrol or diesel already. And costs for those are often exorbitant, in remote areas. People are often suggesting there are no chargers out there. But they're thinking like petrol and diesel drivers. Most EVs are charged at home. For the handful of places that have petrol stations, you just need to add some chargers, not very many, for people travelling through. People already travel across the entire continent, with EVs.
