Sydney to Melbourne EV Road Trip in BYD Seal | Tesla & 350kW Fast Charging Test | EPISODE 1

Welcome to the Electro Revolution channel. In this episode, I take the 2024 BYD Seal Premium on a real-world 800km+ EV road trip from Sydney to Melbourne — testing Australia’s high-speed charging infrastructure along the Hume Highway. This time, I committed to using ultra-rapid DC chargers only, learning from my previous Sydney to Phillip Island journey. The goal? Minimise downtime, maximise charging speeds, and evaluate total cost efficiency when relying on premium fast charging networks. 🔌 Charging Stops in This Episode: 🔹Tesla Supercharger (20-stall site) – Goulburn, NSW 🔹Ampol / EVIE Networks 350kW charger – Tarcutta 🔹Next episode: BP Pulse before arriving in Melbourne This was my first time fast charging the BYD Seal at Tesla’s largest Southern Hemisphere Supercharger site in Goulburn. I walk through: 🔹Using the Tesla app to initiate charging 🔹Real-world charging speeds at different state-of-charge levels 🔹How charging tapers above 70–80% 🔹Infrastructure quality, lighting, and site layout 🔹Government co-funding requirements and SLA implications 🔹Cost breakdown per stop ⚡ Key Observations: 🔹Charging speeds reduced significantly above 70–80% SOC 🔹Tesla Supercharger performance vs EVIE 350kW hardware 🔹Practical long-distance EV planning at 2:00 AM departure 🔹Total charging cost comparison for first two stops: Stop 1: $26.88 Stop 2: $35.95 I also demonstrate trip computer tracking strategy (Trip A vs Trip B) to monitor segment efficiency vs total distance travelled (386km covered by episode end). This episode was filmed during my trip to attend Everything Electric Melbourne 2025. The return journey to Sydney will be covered in the next episode. 📍 Follow for more: Instagram:   / theelectrorevolution   Facebook:   / theelectrorevolution   Linkedin:   / the-electro-revolution   Youtube:    / @theelectrorevolution   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1DRxVbC... ⚡Supporting the Electro Revolution channel through Patreon:   / theelectrorevolution   Sydney to Melbourne EV Road Trip in BYD Seal | Tesla & 350kW Fast Charging Test | EPISODE 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🕒 CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to The Electro Revolution 00:05 Introduction to Episode 02:02 Leaving Early Morning 02:52 Arrived at Tesla Superchargers in Goulburn 08:34 20 minutes later 10:05 Charging Finished 10:29 Our Next Destination 11:00 At Ampol / Evie Tarcutta 14:16 Summary of Trip so far License ------------- Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
