The problem with leaving the EV Charging Network to the private sector to establish is that they will only provide services where they can cover their costs. This is why the Poles & Wires networks are being allowed to focus on establishing a complete infrastructure with no gaps. It will be a great day when this is done.

BTW most of those so-called EVs that are now outselling ICE vehicles don't need a charging network - they are HYBRIDS. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10-08/ev-lagging-infrastructure-lagging-in-northern-wa/107216800
