[QUOTE="bicter, post: 635489, member: 1240"] I recently read an article saying that some of the Nullarbor plains roadhouses are installing EV charging stations. They're evidently going to be powered from used cooking oil. I understand they are a containerised solution. It may appear odd to be using cooking oil to recharge EV's as it doesn't appear to be an environmentally friendly technique, however it would allow EV's to transit between locations that provide recharge facilities from renewable energies. Just did a quick search and found this [url]https://thedriven.io/2022/01/24/explainer-how-to-cross-the-nullarbor-in-an-electric-car/[/url] It appears there are now EV charging points at roadhouses sufficient to get you across the Nullarbor. In the fullness of time, EV charging locations will be a lot more widespread. Next step is to improve the battery capacities and recharging rates for them to be competitive with existing transport options. One small step at a time. [/QUOTE]
