TESLA ROAD TRIP TIPS: SYDNEY TO ADELAIDE IN 1 DAY USING ABRP

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed virtual road trip simulation from Sydney to Adelaide using 'A Better Route Planner' (ABRP). The reviewer highlights that a Tesla Model 3, in both Performance and SR+ variants, can comfortably complete this journey within a day, with the Performance model taking approximately 17 hours and 26 minutes and the SR+ around 18 hours and 22 minutes. The analysis emphasizes that using Tesla Superchargers versus a mix of third-party chargers (like EVIE, Chargefox, NRMA) makes little difference in total travel time for this specific route. The reviewer also explores the Hyundai Kona Electric, finding the Sydney to Adelaide trip significantly longer (around 21 hours) and more restrictive, often requiring slower speeds and longer charging stops, particularly when navigating routes via Mildura or bypassing Melbourne. The video also touches on charging costs for non-Tesla chargers, noting that EVIE's pricing structure includes both time and energy components, making it more expensive than Chargefox or Tesla Supercharging.
