"If you live in a big city, finding a charger for your electric vehicle (EV)
isn’t hard. But drive a few hours in any direction and the story changes.
For most regional Australians, the nearest public charger is still a detour,
not a stop on the way. And for anyone planning a long road trip, the chargers
along the route fade for hundreds of kilometres at a time.
A new interactive EV charging monitor I helped develop shows, for the first
time, just how uneven the network really is. This map refreshes daily, pulling
live information from the Open Charge Map database and plotting every public
charger in the database across the nation.
When we overlay those chargers with population data, a clear pattern emerges:
we’ve built a strong urban network, but a patchy national one.
Only about a third of Australia’s towns have a charger within 20 kilometres.
Zoom in closer and the gap widens: more than two-thirds of towns have no
charger within 5 kilometres."
