THIS week it was announced that Australia’s “electric highway” has finally been completed.
This highway was a three-year project which involved installing charging points for electric vehicles in every populated region of the country. This massive transformation is part of a voluntary initiative run by the Tesla Owners Club of Australia (TOCA) which splits the costs of installation with the Australian Electric Vehicle Association.
With more than 10,000km of power gaps just a few ago, today this “electric highway” spans an over 17,000km which means that motorists can go anywhere in the country without having to rely on petrol or diesel.
