Canberra - Sydney is one of the busiest routes in Australia with Dash 8 and ATR turboprops on high rotation every day. I could see a small electric aircraft working pretty well there, modulo charging times.

There's already an Australian electric trucking company trailing plug n'replace heavy battery packs (with a forklift).

That allows for fast turnover times while used batteries recharge at terminals.
