    TL;DR: You can’t charge in remote areas in central Australia.

    If you live in a city you can charge almost anywhere. All major highways are covered. Check PlugShare for charger locations.

    If you can charge at home, you’ll get cheaper and more convenient electricity.

        Yeah it is. I ran my EV from an 8 amp charger for the first year. Charging for ten hours overnight adds about 100km of range. Most people don’t do many kilometres per day.

        You only really have trouble if you’re doing back to back long trips, or if you haven’t charged for a couple of days and suddenly find out you have a long trip to do the next day.

            That charger advertises 8 amps to the car, so that’s what the car draws. I’m not sure why. A safety margin for bad wiring and dodgy outlets, maybe?
