Charging:

Totally Renewable Yackandandah has always been progressive with renewables. They’ve had a fast EV charger here for years, which we’ve used many times. It seems that they recently “upgraded” it to a new one, run by Exploren. Unfortunately, this matched our frequent experiences with Exploren chargers – it didn’t work. I downloaded the app, filled in my new billing details. I tried a few times on both cables. It started making all the right noises, but then stopped with “Error 76”. I rang Explored help, waited a while, explained the issue, waited for them to reboot it, tried again. No joy.

We had over 70% battery charge, so didn’t _need_ to charge. I only plugged in since we were parking anyway. ABC – always be charging, but not this time, it seems.

We have rarely experienced charging fails. But this was one of them.

We’ll just charge next time we stop, probably in Gundagai, for lunch.
