Barkly roadhouse, you must have missed it because the fuel price is so high.I did Brisbane to Darwin twice in an ICE. Even that is challenging. You hit a 550 km (280 mi) stretch from Camooweal to the three ways with no gas stations in between (let alone superchargers). There are signs warning motorists that a headwind may increase fuel consumption enough to strand them. The first time I did it was in a turbo diesel Hilux with a 100L tank. The second time I did it was in a Yaris carrying a 20L jerrycan. It wouldn’t be possible in my model 3 SR+.
My parents live in Queensland and have a model 3 LR on order. Plotting out routes with Australia’s sparse supercharging network looks pretty bleak.
It was closed when I went past, both times.Barkly roadhouse, you must have missed it because the fuel price is so high.
I hope they put a number of chargers at the same location, around maybe some restaurant infrastructure or similar (like in Norway)SA governemnt has just announced funding for 530 new fast chargers to be spread around the state by 2023. 120 of them will be in the cbd. The stated aim by the minister is to remove any concerns about range anxiety.
So 900km is basically Melb to Sydney, which i've driven quite a few times in a day in a ICE. Thinking about the rest stops I did, it should be do-able in a LR Tesla (2 supercharger stops).
Nice oneIm putting together a you tube video at the moment that introduces the concept of the "Musk Line", and the lesser "Edison line".
Totally made up names by me, but...
If you drive inside the Musk line, you have ample choices of very fast chargers, so not too different from ICE cars.
If you venture past this, but stay within the Edison line, you still get DC fast chargers, but they are slower ( up to 1 hour), and often only single chargers available. Quite possible to travel out here like an ICE car, but riskier and any issues with charger means you are staying the night at a hotel.
Past the Edison line, EV travel is possible, but you'll be slow charging using hotel chargers, or 32amp sockets taking 4 hours to re-charge at best.

Ah, that map reminds me that OpenChargeMap doesn't have most of the Charging The Regions sites in north-west Victoria.
OpenStreetMap is more thorough but many are just "charging station" without specifics - needs a bit of work to add in details.
Map below shows all "charging station" entries - without separating DC and AC.
If every responsible forum member adds a missing one it will be "feature complete" pretty "soon" or even done in "two weeks"OpenChargeMap doesn't have most of the Charging The Regions sites in north-west Victoria
OpenChargeMap should never have tried to duplicate the charging station information from OSM, it should just directly use it and concentrate on layering on the comments/photos etc that OSM doesn't include.If every responsible forum member adds a missing one it will be "feature complete" pretty "soon" or even done in "two weeks"
I guess I'm only using it as a workaround to get ABRP to scrape the location. There was another site that ABRP scrapes but that evades me at the moment.I tried to add stations a few times to OpenChargeMap
We drive on Friday night to Foster or Waratah Bay, stay at a cabin or powered campsite, charge all night on whatever power socket's available, then leave at the crack of dawn for the actual Prom with a near-full battery. Might try Fish Creek hotel one day, they have actual Tesla destination chargers.How’d you do the MEL to Wilsons Prom trip? My model 3 is suggesting I go via Moe - that’s a 30min detour and 40min charge. Not ideal.
