Random drive out to Ballarat to pick up a family friend and take them to the airport. Two medium large bags and one carry on all fit into the boot, thanks to the sub trunk space.

Before we left, I gave the car a “full service” by topping up the washer fluid. The screen showed that the tyre pressures were good there’s no engine oil or radiator fluid etc to check in an EV.

Charging

We mostly charged at home, for free, from solar. But we did stop on the way home in Moonee Ponds for a few minutes for a toilet and charger. Total cost for “fuel” $3.58. Not bad for about 350km.

The Moonee Ponds superchargers are a few levels down, and charged relatively slowly. But, at least the car park has reasonable signs giving directions.

        Tesla Tripping wow that’s a lot more than I’ve been able to fit. I need to learn some Tetris skills!

    Glad you did the full service. Nothing worse than running out of essential wiper washer fluid.
    I think you're lucky... if you had a BMW, you'd need blinker fluid as well. :P
