We are driving clockwise Round Oz on a 15,624 kms adventure and will be ruining 7 weekends.
As always we are mindful of our ABCs.
First ABC is ALWAYS BRING CABLES, so our froot is full:
T1 to T2 adaptor 7kW- there are still many T1 stations over East.
T2 to T2 cable 22kW.
CHAdeMO adaptor for those times when other EVs are queuing for the CCS2 DC lead.
Gen 1 UMC 11kW with 20 and 32amp pigtails.
Gen 2 UMC 7kW with 32amp pigtail.
Khons 32amp 22kW ( thanks @Ant Day AEVA).
22kW extension lead for those times when the 3p socket is ICED ( thanks TOCA).
15 amp extension lead with 10/15 amp cutout for those times we will be charging from the kettle socket in our Motel.
22kW to 7kW X 3 splitter for when we meet another EV at a 32amp socket and share the phases (thanks TOCA).
Second ABC is ALWAYS BE CHARGING.
We charged to full at Karrinyup yesterday which was sufficient to get us to Geraldton 406 kms with 20% spare (we did have the usual tailwind - driving south is not as easy).
Then a full charge last night in Geraldton and we plugged into the Tesla Destination charger at Northampton ( 50 kms north) for breakfast and IGA shop. There is no point in plugging into DC when over 90% full since AC is probably quicker.
