That was 5 hrs a day (travel).... for 3 years

I'm still in awe of what he did & sacrificed ..... 22 years before he bought a car - spent the money sending the 5 kids to a private school instead.

There was definitely something about those post war (displaced people) who came to this country ..... the ones that were called wogs

Yep - Catholic schools ...... mum & Dad didn't want their kids going to public schools .

There is no way that I could have kept up with my father ..... but as he saw it - he never wanted the kids to have to try .

2200 km done in the Tesla
$0.00 spent on fuel and electricity, so far solars managed to cover 200 percent of charging
will see how that goes through winter

from my now limited knowledge of how not works and some dodgy road to marine conversions
for boats to have 300 hp worth of electricity to cover 150km of marine range will require a 440kg battery pack plus 100kg of cooling and charging equipment
that’s if they could make its safe

Your summers usage may balance out the rainy, stormy, short winter days so if your getting free travel now i reckon on a yearly scale it would pan out next to nothing, my sister is getting a tesla and i calculated the power cost to only be $25 there abouts a charge
