If a driver finds their car is running out of charge it would be nice to be able to pull in to the nearest service station for a quick charge (maybe 5 minutes?) to get home.  Shopping centres, etc. with such facilities are harder to find.

That also...  Mittagong already has a number of charging stations, one at the RSL Club and one at the visitor's centre.

The other thing which would be useful is an index of charging points.  One doesn't want to run out of charge while driving around looking for one.
