If government invested in a renewables program by installing charging stations almost equal to the amount of fuel servos we have, and heavily incentivise electric vehicles we would see a major transition without car manufacturers shoving corruption in our faces and money towards lobby groups.
They are funding charging stations, and the networks are pretty decent now for long trips.
Thereβs still holes that need filled in, especially when you get away from population centres and main roads, but you can drive from Port Douglas in far north Queensland to Adelaide in any new EV.
Adelaide to Perth is currently a no. Thereβs a 2000km stretch with one fast charger. Not impossible, but it means several days of slow charging along the route.
