None here in Aust., yet.

Going by any of the present EV cars ranges and charging times, it would take 4 days to drive to Cairns.

Exerpt: Bris to Cairns by EV.
We breathe a huge sigh of relief, at having avoided falling short of our goal in such ignominious circumstances, and plug in for the final time while Thomas sets off to bag ‘the’ shot to wrap up our adventure.
The odometer confirms we’ve travelled 2122km in four-and-a-half days on five shots of green power, six if you include Cairns. Charging time has added roughly seven hours to our journey, although we haven’t tracked it fastidiously. We could have done the trip much quicker, undoubtedly, but that was never the point – not with Thomas and his Canons in tow.
For the eco-conscious EV buyer, and taking at face value Yurika Energy’s claim that its chargers are carbon-neutral, we’ve saved an estimated 288kg of CO2 compared with either of the ICE-powered Kona models. Were we paying for the recharges, using an approximate electricity price of $0.34/kWh and our trip average of 14.7kWh/100km, recharges would have cost in the vicinity of $105, compared to an estimated $240 in the ICE Highlanders.Article
However, at$65K the Highlander EV’s price tag will prove a substantial barrier for many motorists, and it’s difficult to see how the economic modelling for the car stacks up given it costs $25K-30K less to get into one of the petrol Kona Highlanders.

I usually take 21 - 22hrs. Including a 2 hour nap along the way....Marum.
