Tesla's Melbourne to Brisbane Supercharger route opens

Tesla's Melbourne to Brisbane Supercharger route has opened with the addition of Tesla Superchargers at

● Knockrow (just below Gold Coast in the map above)

● Coffs Harbour

● Heatherbrae (just north of Newcastle)


For the time being, it will be necessary to plan around non-availability of a Supercharger in Brisbane. This should not be difficult – Google Maps indicates Knockrow-Brisbane CBD is only 176 km.

And Coffs Harbour is a temporary installation with just two bays.

Reaching either of the two Superchargers in Sydney requires a substantial deviation from the most direct route, for many journeys, through relatively heavy traffic. Best plan may be to bypass them. Google Maps reports Goulburn-Heatherbrae as a distance of 349 km.
