After some more kilometres along windy dirt roads (from Orange, through Gowan) and a few…

…semi-restrained laps of Mount Panorama Circuit, we topped up the car’s charge while looking for a place to stay between here and Lithgow.

I think this is the first time we have come across the Tesla chargers that are now open to all EVs (ie not just Teslas). Since the NRMA charger is still free, we picked that one, and left a note in the PlugShare app that we’d be happy to move if anyone needed it. I figured the etiquette was fine, since other EVs can now also use the Tesla chargers. I wonder how this arrangement will pan out: one free/cheaper charger and a bunch of paid chargers. Will it just be that the first to arrive gets to charge for free? But even the paid ones are far cheaper than petrol.

Bottom line, however, is that this is great to see. A bunch of available reliable chargers (at least the Tesla ones). No dramas. Fast charge.

The gutter is a little too high. We hit the front lip of the car when pulling in forwards. Can you fix this Bathurst Regional Council?
