4,849km, Sydney to Townsville via Brisbane then return via Kingaroy and New England Highway by EV.
Average conditions were 100-110km/hr and roads were wet on some days. AC was on 20 the whole trip in temps from mid teens in Sydney to 30 in Townsville. Real range for the trip in my 2021 Tesla 3LR varied with conditions from 37.5km to 60.6km per 10% of battery used, with the overall average 437km per 100% of battery used. I paid $356.35 in electricity. The average cost was $7.35/100km.

As it was my first trip to Townsville, I used PlugShare to check for charger locations at the towns I wanted to visit or stay in. PlugShare had all the chargers, so it was easy to pick one near where I wanted to stop and accommodation to stay at with chargers on site. (I tried ABRP but it was missing lots of chargers, so I only use PlugShare).
