Pre trip thoughts

Before starting the the journey the concerns will be:

The present infastructue in Australia is equivalent to a single petrol bowser every 150 kms. We have decided to use 20-80% process. The statergy will means shorter stay at chargers but more often stops. 

Below is some people's comments regarding EVs . These are considered to an acumen in EV land as FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt)  The attitudes are usually circulated by fossil fuel industry 

  • Are the charging units reliable
  • Are there enough to cover all posible problems. 
  • Will all the planning pay off in the real world
  • Will we keep up the pace to reach Port Douglas in ten days
  • Will we run out of energy due to weather
  • Is the car reliable enough to cover 6000 kms journey
  • Is 400 kms/day a reasonable target.
  • Will school holidays cause any crowding at chargers 
  • Will the Kona be able to connect to all chargers since CCS is not a standard (manufacuters have slightly different versions)
  • Are we still in the early adopters stage !
We will be able to disprove the concerns by the end of Grey Nomad tour...🕺
