Worried an electric car won"t have enough range for your 25-mile commute? Got range anxiety driving to Sainsbury"s? Well, step aside. Sylvia Wilson has driven her Model S 75kW the entire perimeter of Australia. The fully electric saloon covered a ridiculous 20,396 kilometers (12,674 miles) in 110 days, making Sylvia the first woman to drive an electric car around Oz. Most impressively, the entire fuel bill for the journey was a measly $150.90 AUD, or about 82. The Round Australia Electric Highway is a network of EV charging stations, suitable for any electric brand, spaced on average 200km (124 miles) apart. Some of the remote charging stations Sylvia visited had never been used before, or lived up to the same impeccable standard (read: broken) as you get in the UK.
