Can an electric vehicle make the trip from Sydney to Melbourne easily?
Stephen Conroy says you can't easily drive from Sydney to Melbourne in an electric vehicle. Is he correct? - Fact Check - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Would drive me crazy though - turning a 9 hour drive into an 11-15 hour drive...
Personally I have no issue turning a 9 hr drive into something longer .. I used to do this with monotonous regularity for years.
The caveat tho was what to do when stopped.
In years gone by, for me it was a bit of photography(actually a lot of it).
But this idea of Telsa's to have charging points along the Hume, makes no sense if they're regular everyday service stations.
1hr waiting at a mind numbing servo for a charge! .. what the hell do you do at a servo for an hour?

So possible, but not what many people would call a good time stuck recharging so often. Still a long way to go with the tech and infrastructure. While I do love EV’s, I certainly don’t wear rose coloured glasses - kind of like my Land Rovers I suppose.

It's okay, people don't buy EVs for long distance travel - they buy them for tootling around the suburbs.
I drive Sydney - Melbourne basically in one go with one fuel stop. Brisbane to Melbourne would be with one long rest stop with a sleep so happy to use an EV for this trip.
Sydney to Melbourne a stop to recharge an EV is not good enough for my style of driving.

Long distance travel would be much more viable if battery packs became small enough to swap out in a few minutes.

I would have thought a cassette style change over system would be the go,but no one else seems to think so
There would be hurdles though,as each brand would be a different type,then the models of the batteries would be different,even supplied by one brand.
Sure,an Ev can go many places,it just depends on how much you can afford to be inconvenienced.
