Public charging

Glad to share that I've been on the road again on My BYD Atto3. Drove from Sydney to the Gold Coast and back. It was a pleasant and enjoyable one. The weather was brilliant!

I appreciate the focus the NRMA is placing on EV vehicles. I own an (expensive) EV. The car is fantastic and leaving climate change aside EVs are simply better. I have over 100K in solar panels. I have planted over 80000 trees on our farm but we are kidding ourselves if we think we're doing our b

Are there any public EV chargers in Forbes NSW? None show up on plugshare

being an ev driver who drives around the regional areas i have come to the realisation that three-phase-power-points (5 pin) are the answer to the lack of chargers. the fast chargers are good for the main towns but are too expensive to expect them in small towns and localities. whereas t-p-p-points

I have a NSW Seniors Travel Card. I think I read somewhere that it could be used for ev charging. Can I just enter the card number into my Chargefox/ Evie accounts?
