Thank you for any sage advice here, it will be appreciated!
We are looking (a bit later this year, possibly early next year) of taking a long overdue and long holiday.
I am currently planning a route from the Hunter Valley, over Melbourne, through the Adelaide Hills... and thought about extending that a bit further to cover the Flinders Ranges, Uluru and King's Canyon. Whilst I went to the Flinders Ranges as a young lad, we have never been together to Flinder Ranges, and neither of us have ever been to Uluru etc.
Of course we are planning to stop a bit along the way at places like Coober Pedy - I suspect Mrs Midnight Man will end up with an opal or two from there. There may be some other things to stop at along the way - I am not sure - but largely, it seems this leg of the trip will be about getting to Uluru before the fun stuff begins?
I've been looking at charging options along the way - and sadly, due to my work in IT (where every second thought is "What if this or that fails?"), there doesn't seem to be much in the way of back-up charging options along the way - and furthermore, there seems to be no charging option at King's Canyon (a round-trip from Erldunda to King's Canyon is 550km, well outside the range of an MY RWD).
Has anyone done this trip before? Any sage advice to offer a relatively new, and nervous EV driver who is risk averse?
EDIT: I have a Mennekes Type 2 cable (7.5m) and Tesla UMC charger with 10A and 15A tails. What other cables should one pack along?
