This is Part 3 of the road trip series, covering the first three charging stops on the way home — complete with real-world charging data, costs, efficiency figures, and charger reliability insights. Originally, I planned just three charging stops for the return leg. However, unexpected charger outages (including a full site failure at BP Pulse) meant adapting in real time. In this episode, we cover: • Ampol AmpCharge 150kW session • Unplanned EVIE 150kW top-up • BP Pulse 150kW charge to 100% ⚡ Charging Performance & Costs Breakdown Total distance covered: 265.6 km (165 miles) Total energy added: 101.472 kWh Total charging time: 1 hour 37 minutes Total cost: $74.57 AUD Average charging cost: 76c per kWh Real-world efficiency (highway driving): 23.65 kWh/100km We also look at charging curve behavior — including how the Seal tapers from 120kW down to ~79kW as state-of-charge increases. This is critical for understanding optimal stop strategy and time efficiency on long-distance EV travel. This episode follows Michael, a motoring enthusiast, as he documents the initial segment of his electric vehicle road trip from Melbourne to Sydney. Driving a BYD Seal, he recounts the challenges of navigation, including encountering a completely offline charging station that forced a detour to an Ampol site. The narrative highlights the practicalities of using different charging applications and monitoring the car's fluctuating power intake during three specific stops. Detailed financial and technical statistics are provided, comparing the cost and efficiency of various network providers like BP Pulse and EV. Ultimately, the source serves as a real-world guide to long-distance EV travel, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and data tracking.
