Stocking up on some groceries in Raymond Terrace, before the final leg of our trip to…

…Seal Rocks. We used the Woolworths app to order ahead for “direct to boot”.

Charging:

We aim to charge while parked anyway. Raymond Terrace has Tesla Superchargers in the shopping center car park, powered by solar panels that shade the car park. So, it’s the perfect opportunity. In hindsight, I should have parked at the charger, and just wheeled the groceries over, since it took a while for the groceries to appear.

After piling the Woollies groceries into the car, we parked at the Supercharger and plugged in, while we walked into the shopping centre to grab a couple of things that Woollies didn’t have. That gave the car time for a top up charge. Shopping done, we took off again – no need to wait until 100%.

Once parked between these superchargers, it can be a bit of a stretch to reach the cable from behind the car. And the solar panel roof has gaps, which release targeted rain on you in certain places.

Our car’s LFP battery is supposed to do a max of 170kW, but this charger managed to reach over 180kW.
