Photo not a BYD Seal electric car parked at a fast charger at a petrol station.

Photo of an electric car DC fast charger with two CCS2 outlets. The cables are long and are attached to metal support arms that fold out from the top of the charger over the parking bays on each side of the charger.

These chargers at Ampol North Lakes are a good design. Long cables with hinged support arms, which means that despite the charger being positioned between the two parking bays you can use either side, park either way around, and still reach your charging port […]

Home fine from first #BYD Atto 2 #EVRoadTrip. As expected ABRP battery level prediction was conservative, possibly due to a bunch of 80-90 km/h driving vs 100 km/h.
Have decided to minimize night driving on NZ rural highways with low traffic, needs more concentration without engine/gearbox […]

Have plugged the #BYD Atto 2 in ok at mum's, should be enough to get us home tomorrow.

Minor excitement on the drive back to Dargaville from Whangarei. Came across a car sideways across SH14, a ute parked opposite it. Stopped well back, put on hazards (remembered that the button is in the center console), partner was asking mum where we were for the 111 call as I was thinking […]

Ordering dinner at Lone Star Whangarei with the whānau.

Happily munching on the yummy rolls from Kaiwaka Italian Bakery at mum's in Dargaville. We did a drive by of a couple of the public chargers in town. Will do a top-up before heading over to Whangarei this evening.

Good to see that the Atto 2 has guessed that we are on a road trip. The projected range has dropped in reaction to driving at 80-100 km/h rather than my average 12 km/h commute.
#EVRoadTrip

Of on our first #EVRoadTrip in #BYD Atto2. Will be doing an extra charging stop on the first leg to confirm account set up ok for use at the Gull Kaiwaka (and to call at the Italian Bakery).

The journey to Brisbane was completed in accordance with the plan. Charged in Tamworth while having breakfast and in Tenterfield while having lunch, and made a couple of other quick stops for driver swaps and toilet breaks.

Tenterfield was the only time we had to […]

Screenshot of a route plan from the ABRP electric car route planning app.

Today's plan: charge in Tamworth before we leave, charge again at the halfway point in Tenterfield, then push on to Brisbane. It's 620 km, which will take an estimated 8 1/2 hours including just over an hour of charging time. We'll have breakfast and lunch during […]

Road trip underway! We're taking our BYD Seal from Sydney to Brisbane via the New England Highway, with an overnight stop in a motel in Tamworth.

One recharge at Cameron Park on the way which we probably could have skipped, but since we wanted to stop to grab a […]

The image is a screenshot of a cost comparison between an **Electric Vehicle (EV)** and an **Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)** vehicle for a "Fresno Road Trip." It breaks down the expenses for a **366-mile trip** as follows: ### EV Cost Breakdown * **Tesla Charging:** Two sessions totaling **$31.16** for 70 kWh of energy ($15.62 + $15.54). * **Home Charging:** 44 kWh at a rate of $0.23/kWh, totaling **$10.12**. * **Total EV Cost:** **$41.28** ### ICE Cost Breakdown (2017 4Runner) * **Fuel Efficiency:** 21 mpg. * **Gas Required:** 17.43 gallons (366 miles / 21 mpg). * **Gas Price:** Estimated at $5.50 per gallon. * **Total ICE Cost:** **$95.87** ### Summary The comparison highlights a significant savings of **$54.59** by using the EV instead of the 4Runner for this specific road trip.

I decided to run some numbers about yesterdays road trip. I compared the price I paid in electricity vs what my buddy who went with me would have paid in his 4runner. Hint, #EV was cheaper 😉

Page, AZ has fast-ish chargers now! This is a big deal for North-South transits from Az into UT or CO. It used to be very thin through here requiring very conservative speeds to preserve range.

Another EV Myth Busted! "They" say EVs wear out tires quickly. The Lightning just rolled over 40,000 miles, often carrying a big load, and the original factory tires are still looking great!

Quick 10 minute stop at Electrify America in Knoxville, Tennessee to make it on home after a full week on the road.

#EV #ElectricVehicles #EVRoadTrip #FordLightning #DrivingOnSunshine

Electrify America in Nashville, Tennessee, just off I-40. Arrived early to an empty station. Lightning alone at first, then a Cadillac for company as we were leaving.

#EV #ElectricVehicles #EVRoadTrip #FordLightning #DrivingOnSunshine

Last stop for the night at Electrify America at Walmart in Jackson, Tennessee. No other EVs around tonight.

Full House at Electrify America at Target in Germantown, Tennessee. Usual mix of Hyundai, Toyota, and Chevy plus a giant Cadillac Escalade EV.

"They" say Electric Vehicles are fire hazards. Let's see now, in 2,000 miles of driving this week, current score is 0 EVs bursting into flames and 1 Diesel semi melted into a puddle, backing I-40 Westbound traffic up for miles.

Ionna Chargery stop in Little Rock, Arkansas before turning onto I-40. Just the Lightning and a Black Mercedes this time. Spring leaves are starting to show since Last weekend.

#EV #ElectricVehicles #EVRoadTrip #FordLightning #DrivingOnSunshine

Quick 10 minute stop at Electrify America in Hope, Arkansas for enough range to make it to Little Rock. Headed for the new Ionna chargery location there!

#EV #ElectricVehicles #EVRoadTrip #FordLightning #DrivingOnSunshine

Lightning strikes twice at the Ionna Chargery in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Possibly another kind of lightning too, from the look of the sky and the high winds! Trying to stay ahead of a big storm front heading East.

#EV #ElectricVehicles #EVRoadTrip #FordLightning #DrivingOnSunshine

After driving around the Fort Worth area all week on half a charge, back at the Ionna Chargery stop in Grand Prairie, Texas before hitting the Interstate toward home. Just the Lightning and a Long Black Cadillac here this morning.

A perfect reminder that EV travel is more than miles—it’s mindset.

Second ever Ionna Chargery stop in Grand Prairie, Texas. Easy to use, long retractable cords, and fast charging up to 400kW if your EV can handle it. Both CCS and NACS connectors available.

Next Ionna Chargery stop in Grand Prairie, Texas. Some seriously powerful charging equipment at all the Ionna locations, well marked for which are CCS and which are NACS.
