Sydney to Adelaide in a Model S

[Karpie]

About to depart Sydney for a road trip in my Model S. Here goes....

Have an awesome time and send pics

A great adventure! Note you may be able to glean some advice from these threads:

Adelaide to Sydney?
Sydney to Adelaide (without Melbourne)

Also the first part of Red Centre Adventure !

I just did ADL-SYD for the third Christmas/New Year and will drive home late in Jan. It gets easier every year with more Superchargers. Compared to an ICE trip it's kinda slow but relaxing. Take care!

A year ago I said we need an SC at Bendigo - and we still do!

1st Goulburn. 20 mins at the Supercharger and we’re off again (just enough time for a coffee at the Services Clib across the road).

 

[Karpie]

Stop 2. Gundagai. Got in a little late but still had time for the ubiquitous photo....

 

[Karpie]

A quick charge at the gleaming Wodonga Supercharger and we’re off again... #sydadlroadtrip

 

[Karpie]

Ok. For anyone doing a Syd Melb drive you must stop in Euroa and while you top up at the Suoer Charger have a meal at the Seven Creeks pub. Sensational. #sydadlroadtrip

Good to know. Thanks Karpie

Keith Super Charger is right across the road from an outstanding bakery. A must stop even if you don’t need to.

Which way did you go between Euroa and Keith @Karpie? Cut across to Horsham via Bendigo?

 

[Karpie]

Went Horsham via Ballarat. Needed a charge so didn’t have an option. Been a blast though

 

[Karpie]

Left Adelaide with about 300kms available, did a 10 min Super Charge in Keith. Computer said I’d have 55kms left when we arrived at Horsham.......been a hoot so far #sydadlroadtrip

 

[Karpie]

Oops. Forgot to say...if you’re in Horsham you MUST try the Thai basil restaurant. A short 75m walk from the Suoer Charger... #sydadlroadtrip

I spent the last 2 days getting home from Sydney to Adelaide. After overnighting in Euroa, I decided to ignore the car's suggestion to head to Ballarat for charging and instead drove directly to Horsham. I sat on or just under the speed limit and went via Murchison (again, ignoring instructions) and Bendigo. In my P85D on a mild morning, I made it with 24km in the battery. This saves a big detour and there a couple of destination chargers in Bendigo for a top up if you get nervous.

The shortest distance is 333ks. This compares with Gundagai direct to Euroa which I do. Dont like the detour to Wod SC.

Even if you don't stop in Euroa you can save time by cutting off Ballarat - if just means a slower charge at Euroa to get the car to full rather than a quick top up. The extra time charging is less than the extra driving time. You can play with things like this at EV Trip Planner
