Obviously I do not know Australia that well, but what I gather from Mad Max movies is that you have a lot of desert and silver painted teeth… Just kidding. 😉 Europe is indeed more densely populated than, and we have ‘decent’ infrastructure for travelling. When I started my EV journey 6 years ago, the only superchargers were owned by Tesla, and the fastest non-Tesla chargers would need 4-8 hours to fill my 260kms range car. Which was appalling. Over the past 6 years, I’ve seen enormous improvements, because we want to get rid of ICE cars by 2035.
Today there are superchargers every 50-100kms on highways.
Unfortunately, these (super)chargers do not get as much coverage in ads like gasoline/diesel get, and it took me some time to understand and find my way in chargerland. I’ve learned you need to actively search for the charging infrastructure if you need it.
So I would be interested to see what is happening down under….
That is indeed the palace of justice you see, towering above south station.
