Apparently not content with just one jumbo ongoinginfrastructure undertaking , Australia has committed to fully outfitting three of its big cities for far-flung electric car habit . In hardware terms , that amount to 200,000 - 250,000 charging stations each for Melbourne , Sydney and Brisbane , with an additional 150 battery swap place scattered between them . The effort will be $ 1bn in Australian Dingo Dollars , which is about $ 667 chiliad USD . If that ’s not challenging enough for you , consider this : it should be on-line in three year . Granted , most of these ‘ stations ’ will just be small , designated sockets clamp on to existing seam at home , businesses and parking lots , and the barrage fire swap stations will fundamentally switch your batteries the same means that Ace Hardware does your propane tanks . But even if the applied science is kind of little , the fact remains that a pregnant part of Australia ’s population will soon have a omnipresent substructure for electric cars . The Australian government is presently promote domesticated automakers to suffice the anticipate demand for electric vehicle , because , well , there are about two properly now . There is , however , a suspicious aspect to this programme : the government is suggesting cell telephone set - like contracts as a method acting of charging for the succus , which sound like about as good an idea as Kangaroo Jack IV .
