Three generations with EVs

Three generations of EV drivers met for lunch at Macs Beach Cafe, Macmasters Beach, on the NSW Central Coast: my daughter Amber, us (Fran and Tom), and our friends Hugh and Margaret.

Hugh has just upgraded his Tesla Model 3 to a Model Y, both long range. He and Margaret have already taken it along the south coast, around to Orbost, and back home through Canberra. Before that, they did EV trips in Western Australia, central Queensland, the UK and New Zealand.

Margaret has a Hyundai Kona Electric, and started road-tripping in it years ago, back when public chargers were few and far between.

Amber has driven most of the way around Australia in diesel vans, but recently upgraded to a used Tesla Model Y. She's enjoying the much smoother ride, less fatigue at the end of a day's driving, and much cheaper "fuel". She's about to do a lap of half the east coast, and has started kitting out her EV for serious road tripping.

We (Fran and Tom) had already been to Macs four days earlier, in better weather (in some of the photos).

It goes to show that EVs work brilliantly for young, old and, <cough>, middle aged.
