So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

[Buzzard]

I can drive from Sydney to Brisbane without refuelling

Fill the tanks then don't need fuel for another 1,400km.
Love my 2004 Diesel Prado.

How big is the bladder or maybe pee into a bottle like the truckies

3 m beside a gum tree does not equate to ev charging roulette

…aaaand I just know you will want to hear this… the good ol boys are chopping off the leads for the copper value..
Plan your stop and arrive to find no lead… just great

We do stop for breaks but are not restricted to a servo. We can find a nice spot by a river as an example. In towns like Ouyen or Wilcannia there are parks where we like to stop.

We do stop for breaks

Thanks!

 

[Buzzard]

Thanks!

Soon we will be leaving ADL for MIM.
We will make it a 3 day drive. Fill up as we leave, fill up again when we arrive.

 

[Quickstatus]

ADL for MIM.

No issues either for EV. Multiple opportunities for charging

 

[tgh]

Multiple opportunities for charging

This is based on ideological belief and hope.. you cannot know…..

I very much doubt though that I could load everything we put in the Prado into an EV.

 

[Quickstatus]

Prado

Prado can't fit stuff that a Landcruiser 200 can etc etc

This is based on ideological belief and hope..

Not ideological at all or based on hope. It's actually factual

 

[tgh]

It's actually factual

How many will be working ?

 

[Quickstatus]

How many will be working ?

Had a quick look - all of them at the moment

No need for ideology
No need for hope

Just factual.

Point is not whether EV is better or Prado is better
The point is that many routes in Australia are EV easy especially the ones that most people drive on
Of course some routes are not possible for EV so choose the vehicle most suitable. Canning stock route?

But the way Perth - Adelaide Nullabor? Yes EV friendly.

Pretty good answers..time to stop prodding you methinks….
