I average less than 10k a year in my car (diesel) which gives me up to 1100km on a tank of diesel. Besides with Australia being so large,the distances between towns,cities being so great, the infrastructure doesn't exist and is not likely to exist to support EV for some time.
Examples : cheapest EV in Europe $18000 AUD -
Australia $44000

Might be practical for around city but interstate travel I don't think you will completely get away from fossil fuel .. maybe hybrids will fill the void here. As for cost .. now that Telsla are going to be manufactured in China give it a few years for them to clone the technology and the price will drop.
