I drove a non Tesla EV from Cairns to Sydney over a few days. It was pretty easy.
The car planned the journey out for me. This included what chargers to use (which plug etc), how congested they were, rate of charge, cost etc.
But it did take time. Each stop was 10-20 mins instead of 5 that I normally would have with fuel. Also the cost wasn’t that much cheaper due to all the highway driving (no Regen braking when you do 110kph for two hours non stop) - I worked it out it was $4 cheaper than petrol.
I could have gone slower (80kph instead of 110), and not used superchargers (10 mins vs an hour)… But then what’s the point
Yep.
