Arrived in Lakes Entrance, Victoria.

We had been thinking about the Big Bear Donuts from a week ago at the donut van in Sale. So, in transit today, Fran preordered donuts from their shop in Lakes Entrance, for pickup at the Tesla navigation’s predicted arrival time. High pressure driving! We may have a problem 🍩.

We stayed in a great cabin at the Eastern Beach Holiday Park. I caught up on a little bit of work (and wine).

We chatted to the couple in the cabin next door, who also had an EV. They were on their way from Tasmania to family on the NSW Central Coast, in Empire Bay, just across the water from where we used to live.

Charging:

I asked Kathy at reception if we could charge the car from one of the vacant caravan sites, right in front of our cabin. She was very helpful and friendly, saying this was their first EV charging request. She rang the owner to check. I scheduled charging to start after 10pm, to reduce the peak load. At 15A (3.6kW), it was pretty perfect to have us ready to go in the morning with a full charge.
