Arriving in Batemans Bay on 5 %

NSW → QLD Road Trip 2022–23

We arrived in Batemans Bay with 5% remaining charge, which was exactly what the Tesla’s navigation had predicted. Because The NRMA chargers there are not known to the Tesla’s navigation, the car started to warn us on the way that there were no chargers nearby. But, we knew from the PlugShare app that there were two separate fast charger sites (2 x 75kW and 1 x 50kW) in Batemans Bay, so we just laughed at the warnings. It would be great if the Tesla navigation knew about other chargers.

We plugged in, visited the toilets and had a short wander along the waterfront, before heading off again.

The local shopping centre is also getting a bank of Tesla chargers soon. Road tripping is getting easier all the time.

      2. Chris Rollie PlugShare seems to have the most comprehensive list. But the app could be modernised and improved.

  4. Frustrating, in Europe Tesla navigation includes 3rd party DC fast chargers.

    Try navigating in Tasmania where there is only one Tesla Supercharger on the island at Devonport in the North. Every trip, even if you start and finish in the South tries to route through the Devonport Supercharger in the North.
