Construction begins on the world's longest electric vehicle highway in Western Australia, augmenting a patchwork of various chargers.
Although all hopeful EV drivers can see from the road is concrete pads surrounded by temporary fencing in Kalbarri, this is the beginning of construction for the world’s longest electric vehicle highway, from Kunnanurra in the north of Western Australia to Esperance in the south.
With the eastern extension to Eucla and an extra 43 chargers , the highway has doubled in length from the 3,205 km 18 months ago, to 6,600 kilometres with 98 chargers across 49 locations. Chargers placed every 200 km or less means there should be no range anxiety and plenty of time and opportunity to shop in regional towns.
The highway has been named the Western Australia EV Network. Local companies will be doing the installing. Work has commenced at Kalbarri, Northhampton, and Geraldton. It is estimated that there are over 3,000 EVs on Western Australia roads at present, with numbers expected to double in 2023. EV drivers will no longer have to depend on a patchwork of destination chargers, caravan park charging, and the occasional high speed charger.
