"Access to public charging in Australia should not be a barrier for most
Australians to choose to own and drive an EV. I’m sure many readers are already
fuming at this statement and I am certainly not out to excuse the occasions
when you pull up to a broken charger, have to queue or meet some other
frustration.
However most of the time, for most people; the installed base of public
charging available is sufficient to Australian drivers to meet demand.
I’m also not arguing to slow down the investment in charging infrastructure,
far from it, if we want to decarbonise our transport system then equitable
access to the critical infrastructure is essential and construction needs to
stay ahead of growing demand.
Busting the myth that the lack public charging is an impediment to most people
owning and driving an EV is an urgent priority for our industry. There are some
key stats that make Australia uniquely well positioned for a rapid uptake of
EVs."
