Great video, such a pity that it wasn’t available when we did our trip from Melbourne to Perth last year. I had to learn so much of this “on the fly”. I cannot re-emphasise enough how good the Tesla energy management app is, once mastered. As another hint, it is easy to source a buckle insert that can be used to trick the seat belt sensors; even a dog tether from a pet store will do it. Another is to get all your charging cables right - before you leave the east coast - because if you need to buy an exotic adapter in the west, you’ll have to wait while it is shipped - from Melbourne or Sydney. Lastly, if you want to carry a spare tyre, narrow compatibles are available (try Braumach), that take up less room in the back; but don’t forget a jack and lifting point pucks.
Brilliant film John, loved it!!!!!
Fantastic info for me a potential Tesla buyer. Awesome, thanks. 2 ideas to help you. Maybe get or print a 110 k fake road sign. After the roadworks put it in front of car. Just need to decide if that’s more of a pain than the fault. 😁. Second is make a 3d printed buckle for seat belts. Fits in and tricks computer but is not tall and making indents. Thanks for your excellent vid.
Thank You for updating your learning and it is really helpful for someone looking to buy an EV.
Living the dream mate!
Thanks John. Such a concise and informative record of an epic trip.
Amazing Video, Exploring the opportunity to buy an EV, I am a long distance traveller within Australia, Was always nervous on buying a EV car due to the electric charging, But after this Video gives me relief and encourages me to buy one, Great work and Cheers to many more journeys
bad ass summary. can't wait to do a big road trip with an MY someday
John, this is incredibly helpful, you explain it so well. Good on ya, you really are a champion!
Thanks very much John. You have given comprehensive info which will be very useful to me, owning a Kona electric and wanting to travel long distances! You also seem to be able to plan, take your risks seriously, but relax and have a good time as well! Your detail on charging cables and equipment and the exact locations of charging points is priceless to an EV traveller. I wonder does the Tesla ‘destination charger’ allow standard type 2 cables; so my Kona could be plugged in?
Hi Barry. Some parts of the Tesla charging network is open to non Tesla vehicles. For a particular location check in the Plugshare app where it is clearly outlined. The Tesla charging network where it accepts non Tesla's works with Type 2 Mennekes CCS2 charger ports.
Great video thx John
Great road trip video. A much bigger challenge crossing Australia compared to the many youtube videos of crossing the US with superchargers no further than 100 miles (160km) apart. I think the maximum AC charging speed of my '24 Tesla Model Y is 40amps at 240v single phase. I mainly use the Tesla mobile connector which maxes out at 32amps connected to a NEMA 14-50 outlet.
A great round up of you amazing journey across our fantastic country. We are looking forward to getting our Model Y hopefully before XMas. Thanks for all the great advice and hopefully we will get to use one day on our own Big Aussie Adventure. 👏👏
I think Tesla now includes 3rd party charging networks on screen, if so could you do another planning video please
Very helpful advice - thanks.
great summary of your trip - thank you - I found it very informative
Really enjoyed the series. Thank you!
Great to hear about your trip. I have driving a similar route some years ago, but not in an EV. I have a Tesla as well and love the navigation. I would love to do a road trip around WA in the future, and it is good to hear that it is doable even now. Thanks for the video
I like your travel video, great to see Australia from the road. I love to travel by Tesla I also make many trips on my channel EVDave. Concerning buckling the rear seat belts. When you see the alarm on the rear seats on the screen, simply press and hold the rear seat icon and it will disable the alarm, it works for each seat. I’ll watch for more travel content from you, Cheers
Hi Dave. The "press and hold the rear seat icon and it will disable the alarm" is not enabled in Australia.
Your series of videos of this trip are excellent for those keen enough to try the trip in an EV. Could you share the total cost of all the various cables and connectors you had to buy to ensure the ability to plug in at every stop? Now the NRMA chargers you used are no longer free, have you recalculated the likely cost if you had paid NRMA's 54 cents per kW up to 150kW and 59 cents per kW above 175kW for ultra-fast charging? At 18kWh/100km, that would cost $10 or so in a Tesla. Compare that to $12/100km in my diesel BMW X3 30D at $2/L and 5.8-6.1L/100Km on the open road. This easily allows SYD/MEL non-stop when driven at the speed limit or 1350 km carrying a single 20L gerry can, which I would carry on an outback trip.
Thanks John. I used a 3-phase KWIK Portable Type 2 Charger evchargers.com.au/product/portable-charger-3-phase-bundle// which retails for AUD$1,280
The provided tails bundle included:
240V 10A connector tail (single Phase) - normal domestic powerpoint
240V 15A connector tail (single phase) - caravan park
415V 32A connector tail (three phase) - did not use
415V 20A connector tail (three phase) - most common 3-phase
Also used was a Type 2 to Type 2 EV Charging Cable 22kW at AUD$209.
evse.com.au/product/5-metre-type-2-to-type-2-ev-charging-cable-22kw/
The charging landscape is changing very quickly in Australia. Places such as Norsman and Nullarbor Roadhouse where I used 3-phase is now serviced by DC Fast Chargers. Add this to NRMA now charging for their charging does impact cost. You could re-calculate the total cost of the trip using the link in description to the [Syd-WA-Syd Trip Spreadsheet] and looking up Plugshare for each stop.
@@EV_John Many thanks. Most helpful.
Tesla information only useful if you drive across in a Tesla, whereas there are many long distance EV's now in Australia and Atto Gal has done it with her Atto 3. ABRP & Waze are both good alternatives. Also surfing behind a road train can be useful to help efficiency.
Good advice and great video. What did you do for a spare tyre?
I carry one in our Model 3 for rural and remote travel. Does eat into luggage space though.
Hi Stephen. No spare was carried. I had a Tesla Tyre Repair kit which had a sealant canister and air compressor as Plan A. Also carried a Slime Tyre Plug Repair Kit for Plan B. Lastly had the Australia wide NRMA Roadside Assistance 24/7 coverage for metro, country and remote towing if needed.
These videos have been great! I'm starting a similar trip tomorrow, except starting from Hobart, but following much the same route to Perth including the detour to Kalgoorlie and the south WA coast. Mine is in a 2022 Model 3, so a little bit less space but better efficiency, plus I'll be sleeping in the car itself!
That looks like a similar 3 phase kit to the one I'm taking - is yours from TOCA?
Thanks for the helpful information, I'm planning same trip too, but the other way around.
Questions :
1. Does all caravan park allow us to charge while we are camping over night?
2. Did u bring a spare tyre?
Thanks.
Hi Jason
1) I'm not aware of any caravan parks having an issue of an EV charging overnight. There are plenty of caravans running their air conditioners and charging their internal battery and running electrics that equal the power your drawing. Besides cost of electricity is covered in the powered site right?
2) I didn't bring a spare tyre. I did carry a Tesla Tyre Repair Kit and also a Deluxe Tyre Plug Kit as detailed in the [Day 0 Tesla Y 2023 Road Trip - Planning] video. Also got the NRMA top cover for remote towing if I ever needed to resort to that.
@@EV_John thank you so much! 😍
Hi john, are you able to share the documents and planning information for this trip? I would like to do this trip in my model y soon
Hi Mark. Sure no Problem. Links to Planning Assets in the description.
Thanks for the video. How long an extension cord either 10 or 15 amp would you recommend?
Hi Barry. For 15A a 10m extension cord is fine. Most powered sites have the power box in close proximity to where you are charging. For the 10A get a 25m extension cord. If your last resort is using a power point chances are it will be a long way from the car!
fast charging goes to nullarbor road house now.
Excellent. I checked it out on Plugshare. Charging infrastructure across the remoter parts of Australia continues to get better and better...
@@EV_John
NRMA has more stations planned across the nullarbor
Hi thanks for your information is that I need to buy ccs adopter for third party charging stations because come of station they don’t have type 2 I thing if you have adopter it will helpful?
Hi. Check out further explanation of the charging equipment about 1 minute into the video "Debrief Tesla Y 2023 Road Trip - Crossing Australia". This should answer your question. Link is here ua-cam.com/video/9qMAQnfjp7I/v-deo.htmlsi=cTIevOdziFzj4g16&t=60
