Well my wife finally picked up her new car, the BYD Atto 3.
It was my job to drive it back from Perth to the Goldfields, a trip of around 600kms, with maybe a few side trips thrown in!
It was my first long trip with a full EV. When I planned the route initially, the WA EV network ( DC Fast chargers ) were still being constructed and I was
unsure whether they would be open in Merredin or Southern Cross.
As a precaution, I booked an extra night in Merredin, even though the AirBNB I stay at sometimes has a 7kw Wall charger.
After arriving in Merredin my host told me the the wall charger had been playing up, buuuuuuut, the fast chargers in Merredin had opened a few days before my trip! #winning
I stayed an extra night in Merredin and had planned to Granny charge in Moorine Rock at the AirBNB ( About 20kms from Southern Cross )
Late on my 2nd day in Merredin, I found out the Southern Cross chargers had just opened that day!
So I cut my trip short and left Merredin early on the 3rd day, stopping at Southern Cross to fully charge before heading to Kalgoorlie.
I believe I was the 2nd person to use the chargers in Southern Cross, and we may be the first people in Kalgoorlie to own a BYD Atto 3.
Have a look at how the trip went!
Thanks for stopping by today!
