Thank you, that’s really interesting to see that list of UK prices. Here in Australia where our currency is $2 to 1£, our public DC pricing ranges from free to 90c but, on average is 50c to 75c kWh, so it seems we are very lucky our prices are about half those in UK myevjourney.com/2024/10/19/e...

Hi, 8 days driving 4,849km, longest in 1 day 640km. I didn’t record driving time, as I stopped off at beaches often. I stayed at 4 towns on way north, then stayed on the reef. On way back stayed in 4 other towns. Since 2021 I’ve kept a small blog of how my EV has been myevjourney.com/2024/10/25/t...

yep I agree, PlugShare is great, I used PlugShare to plan my 4,849km trip from Sydney to Townsville return and everything went really smoothly, never had to wait for a charger!

it looks like we might have slightly cheaper EV charging prices here in Australia. 1Euro buys 1.67AUD$ at present and our charging prices range from free to 90c kWh. Average around 60-70c kWh. We have lots of Apps too :) 29 different networks competing which is good to keep prices competitive

I guess we are going ok in Australia then. I’ve been watching our prices. 1 AU$ is currently equal to only 0.5£ and our EV charging prices for DC charging range from free to 90c/kWh, average about 60c/kWh myevjourney.com/2024/10/19/e...

agree, I bought my EV so I could travel more frequently long distances to relatives in the bush & explore Australia more. Done 80,000km in 3yrs. It’s a quarter the cost of petrol & minimal servicing. Didn’t want to have to keep buying imported petrol. Recently did Sydney Townsville return great trip

oh ok, thanks, I didn’t realise it was about ABRP. I don’t use that. I tried but found its missing many of the charging stations I use when travelling, so I just use PlugShare.

I'm not sure what you mean, I can see the status of NRMA chargers and they're not all blacked out?

yep, I park on the street most of the time, so rely on public chargers too. I agree about South Coast, I go to Moruya for work occasionally, and more chargers south of there would be great too.
