Driving Tips & Suggested Route

Since the Geely EX5 is an electric vehicle, plan your charging stops. There are EV charging stations around Mornington Peninsula but not everywhere. Don’t let battery drop too low before entering less populated areas.. Early in the day is best for hitting lookouts or walking trails (avoid dusk on winding roads if unfamiliar)..

Start from Melbourne, go south on Beach Rd then Nepean Highway into Frankston, pop in and see us at Geely Peninsula for a coffee then swing to Red Hill / Main Ridge, over to Cape Schanck, then up via Portsea and back around the Bay side for views.
