Sign of the times

Here is a sign we'd never seen before.

Kangaroo Island has made a name for being a pristine environment and in keeping with this ethos it has implemented an electric car hire scheme complete with 'refueling' stations. Spotting one of the refueling stations next to the boat ramp alerted us to the existence of this novel scheme.

Bowser with a difference

 

Since the range for the cars is only 120km and Kangaroo Island is 155km end to end, this 2 vehicle concept project would not be suitable for all tourists. It takes about 7 hours to fully recharge the vehicle and proportionally less for a partial recharge. Hopefully, there is research associated with this to determine both viability and effectiveness as the 'carbon offset' for the airport relative to the $500,000 public spend.
