Can anyone point me to an online source covering wire gauges commonly used in car electrics projects in Australia?

Kind Thanks,

Don't forget skin effect. Electric cars are normally AC (and the conductor diameter becomes frequency dependant). Due to the high currents involved, this must be considered.
