It's happening.
A total of 55 Victorian towns are getting a 50kW EV charger run by Evie, made by Tritium, and co-funded by the State Government, by 2023.

We're doing a regional trip in August. Let's say we had a real world 300km range car. Let's say we followed the guidance on not falling asleep at the wheel, resting every 2 hours.
Day 1 - Canberra to Cowra <200km, have some lunch while topping up on the NRMA charger (<40 mins back to full)
Cowra to Parkes, drive around to the different things in Parkes, probably cover under 200km, charge overnight at the accommodation or NRMA fast charger.
Day 2 - Parkes to Wellington, 112km, no charger, then Wellington to Canowindra 129km, charge overnight. Or via Orange (extra 48km total) to fast charge before Canowindra.
Day 3 - Canowindra seeing some stuff then to Canberra is probably 270km, fast charge at Cowra.
I expect it won't be long until Canowindra has a fast charger. Ampol are putting in a network of chargers at petrol stations. So for that few times a year on average (if that for the majority of people) where a longer trip is done, it will be maybe 200km between fast/medium fast charging stations at the most.
In 13 years everyone in the ACT except the SummerNats* crowd will have electric vehicles already.
* Everyone racing in the go to whoa will have electric cars because they will be faster at that than everything else.
That is some cool (hot) shit!
