Interesting information, I thought.
Are electric cars viable for regional Australians?
Hydrogen power could finally get regional Australians excited about electric cars - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Electric Cars are already more than viable for Regional Australia .
According to the ABS
Average commuting distance by four BITRE regional classifications varied widely. Commuting distances in Coastal Significant Urban Areas (SUAs) above 30,000 was 14.1 km and in Coastal SUAs with 10,000-30,000 population it was 16.5 km. Coastal country regions had a significantly higher average of 25.8 km, whilst Remote regions had an average of 31.2 km.
from https://bitre.gov.au/publications/2015/files/is_073.pdf
"[Hydrogen powered electric cars] are coming online and will be available this year or next, that will be able to drive nearly 2,000 kilometres with a full payload. "
Interesting
Maybe a combo of hydro + bat electric cars are next best option up from a horse for a low emissions 4x4 remote tourer that also spends time in town.
Hopefully LR's MLA is flexible enough to adapt as needed.
Don't forget cows and sheep.

Not accurate information at all.
Its 2011 data,and is worked out on the "shortest path of road network distance".
And is the distance from home to work.
Many use vehicles a lot more than just home to work.
I know families in regional areas that drive over 350K's just to go to the shops,and huge distances just to take the kids to school.Their vehicles clock up 50 to 60 thousand k's a year.
Of course everyone is different,but our private vehicle has always clocked up around 30 000k's a year,plus the work vehicle is close to 40 000K per annum.
In fact,the average mileage for vehicles,as per RACQ is 15 000KM a year,which equates to around 41km/day for every day of the year.
A vehicle that only does 15 000km a year may do thousands of k's one week,then nothing a few other weeks.
What we really need for city drivers is a much better public transport system,but thats an issue for another thread.

Statistics are just that. Its an average . 1000 people may well drive 350km per day , combined with 100,000 that drive 25 km per day = an average of = 28.2km per day .
Ive lived in RURAL Yarrawonga for 3 years now and 320 days of the year I drive no more that 22 km a day , 10 days a year I'll drive 150km , and one day a year I need to go to Sydney or Melbourne . But Last time I had to go to Sydney I took the train , An Electric will do just fine for me .
