Day 3 of my across Australia EV road trip

[@TassieEV]

There is a Canadian KZbinr, now living in Hong Kong as his wife got a job there with her employer, but he did a trip across the Nullarbor not in an EV but following the worlds biggest golf course where there are holes every so often as you drive across some are on real golf courses and some are just a hole at a roadhouse location. That cooking oil charger there is an article on The Driven about it think it's AEVA members along with TOCA WA that put it in.

@@TassieEV yeah the Nullarbor links is a great tourism concept! The cooking oil charger is great and I think both it and the Madura one were crowd funded. I heard today that the guy driving the Hyundai Mighty EV around Australia is the person who built it and he was a portable one on the back of the truck!

Love the idea of using recycled cooking oil for remote charging stops. Better than just not having a charge at all. Surely a solar + powerwall type thing would work great in sunny locations like Rural Australia though?

[@Stan-at-KangarooIslandTV]

Absolutely! If you watch my Day 2 video you will see me charging at the solar hybrid charger at Nullarbor Roadhouse. It consists of solar, batteries and a diesel generator. Maybe they should switch to cooking oil! Thanks for watching!

Go the cooking oil! Roxy was so nice.

[@Stan-at-KangarooIslandTV]

Yes, she was lovely and a good sport for letting my film. Having that charger there was fantastic!

[@PaulWilson]

What was the cost of these charging stops?

[@Stan-at-KangarooIslandTV]

Hey Paul! About $30 for 50kWh at a rapid charger, half that at a slower charger and mostly free overnight at a campground.

How do you stay awake on a road that straight and long?
