You can plan Adelaide to Perth in an EV. Roughly 2700 kilometres on the Eyre Highway. As of 2026, charger spacing is generally under 200 km the whole way, with one longer stretch around 260 km between Mundrabilla and Nullarbor. EV Roadside's Adelaide-to-Perth guide is the map underneath this piece. The Driven's June 2026 network file backs the same picture: after WA EV Network and RAA Charge closed the remote gaps in 2024–25, the Nullarbor no longer has a gap larger than about 175 km on their fast-charger route measure.

Step by step

Plan on distance
Treat Adelaide to Perth as about 2,700 km over several days. EV Roadside estimates about eleven charging stops for a typical 60 kWh pack, but highway speed, heat and hills all reduce range.
Map the three networks
Note RAA Charge in South Australia, the WA EV Network across the Nullarbor and in WA, and the NRMA fast charger at Nullarbor. Bring your own Type 2 cable for AC fallback.
Confirm the next charger
Check the live status of each far-end charger the day before each leg, for example on PlugShare, and again before you leave each stop.
Have a plan B
Know which roadhouses and caravan parks offer AC or 3-phase charging if a fast charger is down.
Respect heat and remoteness
Prefer cooler months, carry water, expect patchy mobile coverage and tell someone your legs for the day.
Know who to call
If you run flat, get off the road safely and call 13 11 11 for RAA or RAC, saying it's an EV. Check before you leave that your cover handles out-of-charge events and long tows.
