We had a holiday house booked in Numurkah. This immediately followed the Hobart holiday.
Unfortunately, for this stage we had 6 people, and only room for 5 in my car. So we had to take two cars (one being a petrol car).
Numurkah is North on the supercharger at Euroa. So I planed to travel on the Hume Freeway to get there. It is possible to drive from the Richmond supercharger to Euroa almost entirely on freeways. The car navigation thought it would be better to drive through the city. I disagreed, and went my way via city link, Bolte Bridge, Tullamarine Freeway, and the Western Ring Road.
At Euroa supercharger, I parked rear end first into the spot on the right of the charger. Before realizing that the cable was on the other side, and wouldn't reach. I wasn't the only one to do this. So I parked in the left spot, and found the cable was really tight, however I got a connection. I charged to 100% from 267km, as this was going to be the last chance to charge for the week.
At Numurkah we visited various places through the week, including The Big Strawberry, Glenarron Farms, and on the return trip, the Chocolate Apple Factory.
On the return trip, my car was down to 106km at Euroa. I noticed for both my trips, there was another car charging at the same time as me for at least part of the time, so I tend to agree when others say 2 chargers isn't enough. We weren't ready to leave after it finished charging, so I relocated my car and found that almost all parking spaces were taken.
