[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 635414, member: 4386"] I would not panic. At present we have only a couple of fast-charge stations in Australia, and the batteries for the appropriate EVs are around $US33,000 each - otherwise you are limited to a short travel range and lots of recharging (at home being the slowest of all). And finally (but most important of all), you have to have power before you can have recharging stations that operate on that power. Have you noticed many high voltage power lines in the outback? The other issues could change with large take-up, might even be good in urban areas for general commuting and shopping, but most of Australia will be out of range for a very long time (we are still a country where even petrol stations are up to 1000 km apart)!.
