So the big drive will start next week. AEVA EV Expo in Sydney.
http://www.theevexpo.com/
We have planned, and re-planned and checked over the plan and edited a few times. That's not to say we have planned or are prepared. Driving electric is still in its infancy and the charge points vary in distance apart, vary with different plugs, and sometimes don't work! Plans do change.
You can find all the charge points on https://www.plugshare.com/ . and do all your trip planning in this website too!
Here is the map of our planned charging stations. There is a lot more charge sessions for MGEV, than shown on the map. MGEV only has a 70-80km max range now. The charge stations are not that close, hence the reason for dumping power from T-Rev to MGEV.
The plan is divided into 2 sections, so the tablet (for traveling) can handle the amount of data.
Kuttabul / Mackay to Gold Coast
Gold Coast to sydney
Here is the list of charge points
And another piece of valuable information is the Elevation Charts. If you are going uphill, it does take more power. A head wind also uses more power, but that has to be played on the day. Pulling the trailer with T-Rev (1100kg) also takes a lot more power.
