As you may remember from the previous blog post, we had estimated that the car would be sufficiently  charged for the drive to Vegas by around 5am on the morning of the 29th day. We fully intended to make best use of the day by leaving this early, and there were several reasons for this. ...

The plan for today was a little complicated. We needed to progress towards Las Vegas, but at the same time, we had to go back in the opposite direction towards Los Angeles in order to pick up 2 power supplies which would help speed up our charging given that 2 of them were now crippled ...

Unlike the previous morning, bright sunlight streamed through the broad windows of the MacCarley's house, and we were awoken to the smell of cinnamon buns and blueberry muffins. RGE do not often have the chance to have breakfast as we are so often pushing to get to the next destination, but on this occasion we ...

There were 3 very exciting things that were due to be happening today, and so it was an eager and keen RGE team that turned up at the Luscious Garage at 9am to pick up the SRZero. Just an aside, I should point out that it was now a Saturday, and Luscious Garage was actually ...

However, when walking over to the car to see how it was doing, we found the circuit breakers in the charging point had tripped and the car was only at 25% state ...

It was an odd experience waking up with the Rinehart staff coming into work...it felt a little odd to say the least! I was sleeping on the sofa, and I remember waking up to Larry peering down at me and saying “Don’t mind me, you’re more than welcome to get some more shuteye!” This is ...

If you could imagine the least most glamorous place in the world, add to it some cold, damp weather, and that was the sight that greeted us upon waking up...a desolate downtown car park. But despondence didn’t last for long as Richard suddenly arrived on his bike with Claudio on the back carrying large quantities ...

Our fifth morning in Vancouver dawned just the same as every other; bright, blue and warm! However, today signified something quite new for the team.
