TL;DR: You can't charge in remote areas in central Australia.

If you live in a city you can charge almost anywhere. All major highways are covered. Check PlugShare for charger locations.

If you can charge at home, you'll get cheaper and more convenient electricity.

Yes, really. I recommend checking plugshare (linked above) to find chargers before complaining about the lack of chargers.

Please check what kind of charges are they. majority < 8Kw. It is not good even for destination charger. It would be pretty good for home, but not a place where you have to take your car to recharge.
