- Are EVs range good enough for road trips in Australia? Are there enough EV charging stations along the way? Watch my holiday road trip driving from Brisbane to Ballina, New South Wales, in my BYD Seal Dynamic base model.

Great video, thanks Sky, always a lovely watch. Love seeing all the Australian scenery as well, and all the locations. Makes me sad to see how South Africa could be if it were run better. So much of the environment looks identical between us... guess this is why Australia is also filled up with us ;P
Haha, I might have over shine the Australia Scenery. I took a lot of clips and only used the best of the best, so we might be watching this video through rose-coloured glasses. I have not been to South Africa beaches, but they look nice too from the internet photos. Anyway, very happy that many of you are enjoying my videos. That's all that matters to me.
love how you have a seal prop lol
His name is Kiki. My daughter loves Kiki and my Seal.
I don't understand why people need to hog the chargers and charge to 100% at a fast charger, the time it takes from 80 to 100% is as long as 10 to 80% - these chargers are not to be used to sit around for 50 minutes and charge to 100% - what happens if someone else needed to charge 5 minutes after you went to eat lunch and someone needed to charge and didn't have the extra kms / range to find another charger...
Yes that's true. Good to always check there is no one waiting before letting it charge to 100%. Would be even nicer if the app allows us to have a digital queue.
Enjoyed the video
My Seal RWD real range with AC in 30 - 35 degree is ovwe 500 km. 20% highway with 130 km/h, the other is 90-100 km/h in main roads. Usually I do not charge with dc over 20%..SOC.. If no highway 550 is possible. I use it in my daily business..
EVIE now have 'auto charge' now so you don't even have to get your phone out of the car. Just pull up, plug in and push the start charge button..... When you add in the Tesla options #BANG
Yes I just registered for that plug and go EVIE account. Thanks for letting me know.
Enjoyed the video- the only minor thing that was disappointing was the “4 major cities in Australia” 😂
And basically ignore the other half of the country haha
Apologies, I don't mean to ignore the other half. I am just unfamiliar with the rest of Australia and didn't want to give any false information on EV charging stations availability. If you have any information on the other half of the country, please feel free to share with all of us. Thanks.
If you're on the east coast driving for Rockhampton to Adelaide via Melbourne is quite safe. If you live over WA you're stuck pretty much in Perth & south west corner.
So Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra & Adelaide are the current stress free driving routes.
How you doing?,Enjoyed. perfect trip! ciao-
I am doing well. Thanks. Very happy you enjoyed the video. Makes my effort worth it.
I'm also in Brisbane. Can I ask where that slope was where the guy was flying at 1:20 in the video? That looks stunning and I'd like to fly my RC plane from there if possible.
It's the Pat Morton Lookout. maps.app.goo.gl/GoUTbDn4cbX4VHvz8 If you go to the Google map link street view, you can also see someone getting ready to fly.
hey man i loved your videos on the Asus Zenbook Duo laptop . I also have the same laptop , can you share how do you maintain the hinge mechanism of the laptop .
Hi @100Funney, thanks for giving me this idea. Yes maybe it's time for me to make my Asus Zenbook after-3-years video. I didn't really do much maintenance to the hinge mechanism. I only vacuum the keyboard and the gap underneath the second screen, and then wipe down the whole laptop.
👍
Hi @Sky Perspective,
I had a question, I'm planning to get the byd premium but I stay in a share house and do not want to purchase a home charging kit as i will move out soon.
I was looking if you know if it is possible to charge the car on 2.4kW 3 pin charger?
If so, how much is the charging time?
I would suggest you go to DC fast charger charging station. Charging using 3 pin 2.4kW takes about 11hours to charge about 30%, and this is for my dynamic model. Premium has a bigger battery so might take even longer to charge.
@@SkyPerspective great thanks. I don't commute as much so it should be okay as long as i keep plugging in the moment I'm home 😬
@@SkyPerspective which portable charging cable do you get with the dynamic? A type 2 to type 2 or type 2 to 3-pin? Do we get to pick which one we can get?
@Ragekid BYD should be giving you a 3 pin wall socket charger. Watch my other video where I talk about chargers.
The Seal seems to have subpar efficiency. I know hills aren’t necessarily the ideal terrain for efficient driving, but that still seems like very high consumption.
It is what is it. Note that my Seal is the base model with the lowest range. I suspect the Premium model will have much better range and efficiency.
@@SkyPerspective the BYD premium will have better range due to much bigger battery, but wouldn't the efficiency be better in the dynamic as it's weight is lower, and has the more efficient 16inch tyres?
I might have missed it, but was the impact of changing regen back to standard?
What I observed is Regen High or Standard doesn't make much difference for highway driving. We cover slightly more distance with Regen High when it comes to peak hour city driving.
Peak hour city Driving
Regen High, 50%, 182km
Regen Standard, 50%, 170km
"Again surrendering all my private information"
At this rate, the whole world will know you by the end of the year 😁
Yep! Luckily I don't go road trip much and sticking to my home charging. EVIE has a very appealing plug and go charging which I might give it a try one day.
Hi what colour is your BYD? That u are showing
Atlantis Grey
apologizes to be that guy,its Bal-in-err ,appreciate your vids
I love people who correct my mistakes, so thanks very much. How did I pronounce it? Which part of Bal-in-err did I get wrong? Thanks again sincerely.
@@SkyPerspective you went with Bal-line-er🥰
@@SkyPerspectivethis is better than my spelling of it ua-cam.com/video/Trm6yAVlS04/v-deo.html
@@dointheokecoke5548 Wow, that's a subtle difference. Thanks for pointing that out. I will try my best. I am also impressed how I can get your vocal pronunciation from your text. Cool!
@@SkyPerspective 🥰
Please don't use public chargers to charge to 100% unless absolutely necessary, which it clearly wasn't any either case in your video. You are unnecessarily holding up other EV drivers. You don't know that people haven't checked the app and seen that chargers are occupied so move on to another.
Oh I see. Thanks for your tip. If only the app allows us to see who is queuing up next.
@SkyPerspective yes, the apps all desperately need a digital queueing system. Frustrating as it is not hard to implement from a software perspective.
For normal everyday driving, no more than 80% is needed and you can recharge in a few days once you get to around 25%. If you have a lot of fast chargers on your long distance trip, most likely you won’t need to go to 100% either, to get to the next station. My Audi etron had a range of 222 but, realistically 186 at highway speeds of 80+MPH. Driving from Arizona to California, required 2 stops but, I put in a 3rd as some section had high elevation and the first time I went, I was low on charge on the hill climb but made it up on the downhill section. I tended to give myself a 5% extra charge buffer from what the car recommended. Not fun to run out of juice in the desert with civilization miles away.

Sorry what do you mean by getting published on Ytube? Do you mean on Google search results?
