Melbourne to Darwin road trip, how feasible
- Thread starter GreenMelbourne

Yes, BUT…from Clare in SA to Darwin you need the correct 3 phase EVSE such as a KHONS or Juicebooster, you need to study the Plugshare map and comments at all charging locations, and you need patience. ABRP will not help you, it requires Plugshare combined with planning.
And if you want to do it you are best joining TOCA (Tesla Owners Club of Australia) who have a loan scheme for some of the charging tails and equipment you might need.
Note that by feasible, you need to be prepared to spend hours charging at each point.
The recently announced Fed Govt funded Arena/ NRMA network will put DC chargers on this route, but rollout will likely take years.

Wasn't sure whether this was worth a new thread, but here it is! This network is an election promise by the federal ALP, so is only really relevant if they win on May 21, so odds are good, but if they don't.. I guess this thread can fizzle into obscurity! I've intentionally kept the party name...

Check the threads with the "remote charging" tag: remote charging
There are some good examples there. I guess the main difference is that there are probably *more* DC chargers in some of these regions now, but there are plenty of gaps.

Yes, I second this - the portable 3-phase EVSEs cost over $2000 so it's well worth the cost of membership to be able to borrow the extensive remote area charging kit for a trip like this.
Also @GreenMelbourne I suggest you read these two threads:

Sydney to Darwin road trip
Tomorrow morning, up early before the sparrows have even thought about starting to fart, I will be setting off on a road trip to Darwin from Sydney. I'm going to keep a video blog on a you-tube channel I've created and (hopefully) post every day. Now, manage your expectations, I'm no Ray Martin...
