In a post above I had the chargefox screenshot of Childers but said it was Miriam (mistake). I lost the chargefox screen on my phone when trying to make the charger work at Miriam Vale. Here is a screenshot of the invoice they emailed  of Miriam Vale



Did I say I tried the charger again this morning at Childers. It worked. Last night at Childers I just left it off. It worked at Gympie and it works here at IKEA North Lakes, but winds down to zero before the battery is full. It might be getting hot, but last night at Miriam Vale it was not hot. Still a mystery.

Left Gympie at 9.55. That is the start of the freeway. Arrived at IKEA North Lakes shopping centre sometime before 12.00pn. Drove around the carpark for while looking for the charge station. Then forgot to photo the battery screen data. I think the percentage was down to 45, so used 55% to do 141km at 100km/hr. Yes, it is 110km speed zone, but I am just doing numbers to compare.

Kuttabul to Carmila, similar distance, 80km/hr used 58%
Carmila to Marlborough, similar distance, 100km/hr used 78%
This section, similar distance, at 100km/hr used 55%. The freeway is better efficiency than the Billy goat tracks. This section also drove through rain, which adds resistance, reducing efficiency.

Anyhow, here is a picture in IKEA North Lakes
