"The Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA) held its first EV rally
this week as part of Climate Action Week Sydney, involving nearly 50 EVs that
followed a popular 230 km EV-friendly route through the Blue Mountains.
The event was held in collaboration with the NSW Department of Climate Change,
Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW),
Everything Electric as well as
representatives from several EV manufacturers and dealerships.
Close to 50 electric vehicles from 22 different brands participated in the
rally, which traversed the Destination NSW EV-friendly Greater Blue Mountains
Route, which passes by a dozen fast charging sites including some of the
fastest available in the country at 400 kW.
Range was not an issue for any of the 4-wheeled vehicles, and most of us
arrived at the finish line without needing to charge and at least 30 – 40 %
battery charge remaining. The 2 Fonz electric scooters did need topping up
along the way, but they successfully completed the rally as well, proving that
EVs of all shapes and sizes are capable of road trips like this."
Disclosure: I am an AEVA member, though I did not take part in this event.
