Total distance was “over 20,000km” - for international comparison:

• 20000 kilometers = 12427.4 miles
• A contiguous US (without Alaska or Hawaii) perimeter roadtrip is slightly less at ~12,225 miles
• Driving from the westernmost point of Europe in Portugal to the easternmost point in Russia is about 10,000 km

Intro excerpt:

We set off from Adelaide in winter with a roof pod on our BYD Dolphin, tents, an induction hotplate, and an assortment of charging cables.

Charging experience excerpts:

From keys on wooden spoons to unlock the charger in Cocklebiddy to solar arrays powering EV chargers during the day, the charging is as varied as the experiences at each Roadhouse.

On the remote stretch of road from Derby to Kununurra, as we approached Fitzroy Crossing, twin plumes of bushfire black smoke covered the sky and initial impressions were not very welcoming. Most charging stations were vandalised here, but did still work.

The most challenging part of our journey was through the Northern Territory. There are distances between fast chargers longer than our car’s highway range. After testing out the car in the 130 km/hr speed zone we committed to slowing down and taking in the scenery, camping at Victoria River and charging overnight from the 15A plug.

NSW took the prize as the state which required the most charging apps installed on our phones, which goes to show the proliferation of EV charging providers.
