September 16 - 17:
A few visits into town and beaches while we stayed in Byron.
Fran sent Tom on a quest to buy her a pair of thongs, even though he’s not a shoe person. He got lost in Barefoot Boulevard.
Lunch at That Crepe Shop, whilst laughing at the coffee/decaf bag labelling.
Charging
Byron Bay seems to have paid parking throughout the town and main beaches. I happened to find an EV charging spot that’s exempt from parking fees. The charging fee is very cheap, at 20c per kWh. Bargain!
We charged up mainly from the EV charger at our cabin, at 30c/kWh.
Here are comparison costs to travel 100km:
Free from excess solar at home
$2.89 at 20c/kWh (Byron car park)
$4.35 at 30c/kWh (our cabin)
$18.86 at $2.36 per L of petrol
I found it on PlugShare. There seem to be two listings for the same charger, which is confusing.
It requires your own type 2 cable, and the Chargefox app. 7kW.
Byron also has Tesla Superchargers in town, and Woolworths has destination chargers.
