    Solar outback crossing...
    They didn't use any decomposed dinosaur carcass juice
    You know that drop of diesel you just burn could be dinosaur testicles

    But looking at the photos of the competing solar cars....They reminds me of solar sail

    One at Mt Barker at the medical centre, one at the Central Bus Station, they just lurk in corners where you don't tend to look.

    lol - power by DinoNuts... does that make it “nut juice”.

    That crossing is interesting. I’m sure They didn’t burn a single testicle.. but everything they’re wearing, the vehicle, tyres, the solar panels etc consumed some...

    Depends on the vehicle.
    Some get to 80% in 20 min or less.

    Also depends where you need to go next as to how much time you need...

    If you have a Tesla P100D you get free charging DPF's the end of diesel cars in cities?

    Go and hook up, go to loo, grab a coffee, drink coffee, unhook.. drive 400km

    Seems easy enough.

    That's probably ok for the first person charging up, but if you are third in line and already struggling with 'range anxiety', you might be waiting a while. Like any new technology, early adopters may have to start planning trips a little differently...
