Charging - Canberra to Hay, NSW

[Gayle S]

Hey Everyone,

I did a trip to Sydney last weekend to get used to charging, but now I want to go from Canberra to Hay, NSW. There is a Supercharger at Gundagai and some 22KW ones in Wagga, but then the next is off the main road (detour via Griffith) and then onto Hay... I want to do the trip but not have to detour to Griffith, but also worried about the distance between Wagga and Hay! Anyone done this trip?

Any suggestions for taking this beast "outback"??

PS, my brother (in NZ) was so envious of me getting a Tesla - he just bought one

There are a couple of apps that will help sort all of this out.

Plugshare and A Better Route Planner. They are very good. They are on both app stores for your smartphone.

ABRP will let you enter custom energy consumption data for your car to give you the best idea for making plans.

Isn't there a NRMA 50kW DC fast charger in Wagga Wagga, Neranderra and Hay. Should be fine for getting you there and back. If a little slower than a super charger. I'd top up to 80% at all of them just incase one of them isn't working.

That is right

The NRMA charger at Narrandera should be sufficient to get to Hay. There's also an NRMA charger at Wagga, Jugiong and Hay itself.

Both Plugshare and ABRP have done "up"grades recently and both seem to me to be worse for them in various ways.

I had to manually add back CCS for ABRP
