Perth to Dunsborough is 250km. What EVs were you looking at that can’t make that distance in a single charge?

Yeah agreed. I have family in Duns and they got a BYD Seal and only charge at each end of their trip to Perth. Gero is another story, but you'd likely be stopping along the way anyway. Its still ~420 km from Perth so that's still well within the range of an EV.
