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.

Seasonal notes

Summer heat trims range ~10% at 110km/h; winter fog on the Hume adds time, not range stress. Coastal variant via Cann River adds 200km and one extra stop.

Road-trip FAQ

For most modern EVs (60kWh+, 450km+ WLTP), plan one 20–30 minute stop per 400–500km of highway driving at 110km/h. Smaller-battery cars should plan on one stop per 250–300km. Arriving with 15–20% is comfortable; below 10% is gambling with headwinds.
