The mantra of many a caryard salesman, when asked about electric cars, is, “But you can’t drive it across the Nullarbor.â€
That’s not entirely true – there have been several inspiring examples of travellers who have struck out across the Australian desert under electric power, with Wiebe Wakker and Sylvia Wilson springing instantly to mind.
However, these trips have not been without challenges, because while some very bright sparks in the EV community have organised three-phase power outlets to charge EVs at remote locations such as roadhouses, phases are not always in balance due to diesel generator age and capacity, nor the points always accessible.

Anybody else see the irony in setting up an electric car charger powered by a diesel generating station?
