EV charging analysis

Melbourne’s hot climate can reduce EV battery range by 10–15 percent under sustained high temperatures, further constraining the effective utility of each charge. Without an estimated EV count, it is unclear whether existing infrastructure is under or overutilised, but the low station density implies that public charging may be a bottleneck for widespread adoption. Residents relying on on-street parking or apartment living would face particular challenges, as the current network does not appear scaled for a city of this size.
