The idiots who came up with that will not be around in 13 years, and neither will too many people at all, the way moronic politicians are trying to drive us.

How many charging stations would be needed between Adelaide and Perth?
Adelaide and Alice Springs-Darwin?

Of course, the sun always shines out there, so the car roof and a trailer covered with solar panels would help.

meanwhile all the Green, Labour and Liberal pollies fly around the globe first class (I suppose nothing compared to Gore's private jets). Never has a generation been so willing to be dumbed down despite the cost of education going up.

CONT:
Hasbeen,
Recharging cars is not a real problem as it is best done at
off peaks times anyway. The reason it is off peak because there is
plenty of spare generation.
My friend has his timer connected to come on when the peak time
ends and off peak starts.
Good for the generators as it will smooth out their demand.
A win win if ever there was one.

Re horses, I did see once that someone had calculated how we would get
from now with the present low numbers of horses to what we would need
if there was a sudden collapse in fuel supplies, it was many years.
The stallions would be very busy.

Is Mise, Nowhere enough area using the roof and a trailer panels.
What I have seen done was by Blade Electric Car Conversions.
He used to, not sure if he is still around, but when he had to drive
one of his conversions to Melbourne he had a small trailer, a really
small trailer, and a petrol generator in it. Did the job.

On the motorways in the UK, they call it the Electric Highway, there
are charging points at every services places.
They have multiple chargers and from memory they have either credit
card readers and or account cards. They are not owned by the service
centres but by a company that installs them. In London and other
cities there are curbside chargers.
The cars have apps loaded than can tell where chargers are located and the nearest.
I believe Nissan dealers have free chargers at their premises.
In Norway the Nissan Leaf is the number one car sales.
I have seen a photo of a parking area in Oslo with about 20 cars all
plugged into curb chargers.

There is even a ethical protocol to come back to your car when it is
charged and move it to a non electric car parking position.
The car can be setup to dial your phone when charged.
I know of a shopping centre in Sydney that has an electric car parking
position with a power point. Westfield here where I live has Hybrid
car parking positions. I asked why and they said they are going to put
charges in when they become more common.
I know of only three electric cars in the area and they don't need the
chargers there anyway.
Things are starting to move quite quickly overseas but Australia is as
usual is being stuffed around.
