A quick stop in Euroa to empty some urea, and give the car a final charge before…

…Melbourne.

We admired the shiny Model Y compared to our road dirtied Model 3. When the owner returned we had a good chat about EVs. She has only had it a few months. She had recently driven with her father to Shepparton when the Tesla navigation told her that Euroa was her only charging option and she’d have to drive at 30km/h to make it. Stressful. I pulled out the PlugShare app to show her the other non Tesla chargers in Shepparton and explained that they have built in CCS cables that plug straight into your Tesla etc. I couldn’t bare thinking of her limping along the road again. I also explained that the charging stall at the far end is reserved for EVs with a trailer.

Charging:

Same old simple story. We had entered our destination into the Tesla navigation. It directed us to stop along the way in Euroa. So, we stopped, and plugged it in, walked across the road to the toilet, came back, unplugged, drove off.

No credit card, waiting in line, or breathing in fumes while holding a nozzle. The charger identifies our car and account automatically. Hard to imagine it being any easier.
