Great EV drives
EV road trips that actually work, charger by charger
Every route lists the stops, the speeds, the coffee, and — critically — the backup charger if your planned one is broken. Verified dates on everything.
Sydney to Melbourne by EV: the charger-by-charger plan
878km down the Hume with charging everywhere — the question is no longer "can you" but "where's the best coffee". We route via 350kW sites so a Model Y needs just one proper stop.

VICGreat Ocean Road in an EV: Torquay to the Twelve Apostles
Australia's most famous coastal drive is an easy EV day trip — 243km one way with destination charging in Lorne and Apollo Bay. The only trick is leaving Melbourne with enough charge to skip Geelong entirely.

QLDBrisbane to Cairns: 1,700km up the Electric Super Highway
Queensland's Electric Super Highway was Australia's first state charging network, and it makes 1,700km of tropical coast a genuinely relaxed EV trip. The gaps are longest north of Townsville — plan Ingham and Tully deliberately.

VIC–SAMelbourne to Adelaide: the Western Highway EV run
728km of easy highway with ultra-rapid sites at both ends and a dependable middle. The Ballarat–Horsham stretch is the only place to pay attention — and even that now has 350kW cover.

NSW–QLDSydney to Brisbane: the Pacific Highway charger audit
920km of coastline that used to be EV-hostile and now isn't. The Pacific Highway has ultra-rapid cover every 150–200km; we route you via the fast ones and flag the 50kW relics to avoid.

TASTasmania loop: Hobart, Launceston and the east coast
Tasmania is made for EVs: short legs, cool climate, and a charging network that quietly became comprehensive. The loop via Freycinet and St Helens needs just two planned DC stops.
