Road trip underway! We're taking our BYD Seal from Sydney to Brisbane via the New England Highway, with an overnight stop in a motel in Tamworth.

One recharge at Cameron Park on the way which we probably could have skipped, but since we wanted to stop to grab a quick bite to eat for dinner anyway I did take the opportunity to top up.

That's just under 400 km driven, tomorrow we'll do the remaining 700 km.

By my reckoning we used the equivalent of 85% of the battery capacity, i.e 70 kWh, to drive 394.3 km today. That's 17.8 kWh/100 km. Not too shabby.

Today's plan: charge in Tamworth before we leave, charge again at the halfway point in Tenterfield, then push on to Brisbane. It's 620 km, which will take an estimated 8 1/2 hours including just over an hour of charging time. We'll have breakfast and lunch during our charging stops so it's not just wasted time.
