We stopped in Corryong, heading towards Mount Kosciusko. We shared lunch at The Black Sheep, with a couple of black sheep watching.
Charging
While parked anyway, we prefer to charge when we can. Unfortunately, no fast chargers in town Corryong, Victoria. We parked at the Corryong Show showground down the road from town, and plugged into one of the 5 pin sockets, available there for free. We used our 5 pin adapter with our Tesla UMC (universal mobile connector), but that’s limited to use only one phase, at 32A, 7kW. That’s quite slow. If we had a three phase connector, we could get 3 x 16 = 48A, 12kW, about 50% faster. I wish we could buy a 32 pin adapter for our type 2 cable (which is 3 phase), rather than buying yet another cable.
All this was just nerdy testing. We didn’t need the charge to make our trip. We only plugged in for an hour while we ate and walked through town. As Ludicrous Feed would say, ABC – Always Be Charging.
I took my RWD for its first longish trip last weekend from Sydney to Wagga. I was a little unsure so charged everywhere on the way down. More comfortable with everything on the way back. I had enough charge to get from Wagga to Gundagai supercharger(no one there so topped up to 100%). Made it back home 360km @110 with 11% left.
Love this car, so easy to drive.
I just enter our destination on the Tesla navigation and trust its estimate for our arrival percentage charge. If I’m stopping for lunch, walk or toilets then I look for somewhere that has a chargers, since I’m parking anyway.
