Last-minute Big W shopping, before the trip

HQ

We did some last minute shopping at Big W, just before our road trip. I was previously considering a water boiler (from Amazon) that would plug into the car's 12V supply, but would take 25 minutes to boil water for a cuppa or two. We ended up buying a couple of 470mL Thermoses. We can just fill them with ready made tea or coffee in the morning, and it stays hot into the night.

Our Tesla car has a giant battery. It would be great to have V2L (vehicle to load) where we could plug in 240V appliances, such as a kettle or hot plate. In the mean time, a thermos at least gives me a hot cup of tea all day.

  1. Wow, modern inventions today are marvellous.
    We have been using a thermos for many years when we go picnicing.

  2. Good stuff. To add to it, you should pickup a jet boiler from an outdoor camping store. Boils 500ml water in 1min. And if you get the smaller propane canister, it’ll pack up inside itself to be very small.

    1. Ryan Couper Thanks for the tip. We're deliberately avoiding propane, aiming to go all electric ⚡️.

  4. I have a similar thermal cup I make my coffee in first thing in the morning and it stays hot for hours. It too is one of my favourite things ever👍
