Ok so I’m down at Tonsley Innovation Park.
Not sure if this is the right thread, but close enough.
Really nice set up with shaded EV parking, 2x tritium fast chargers with ccs2 and Chademo, plus 3x double 22kw type 2 units.
Only issue is that only one of the type 2 chargers works, others are in fault.
Neither fast chargers works.
I hope so and agree that it is an awesome location, especially for fast chargers, not so much for slow chargers (unless you work nearby)I have fond memories of that site. My Model 3 was delivered to that car park (the chargers in front of the old Mitsubishi building) over 4 years ago. Solar Garage wasn't built at the time.
Sadly, the Solar Garage was always going to turn out that way. It was built by a consortium of stakeholders, some using grant money. The site was always free, so there was no cost recovery to pay for new capital expenditure when things broke or needed replacement/upgrades.
I did say to a representative of one of the stakeholders that they should hand the site over to the RAA.
I understand the power is fed from an embedded network on site (cleanpeak), so it is not on the SAPN network. I'm sure RAA has a contract for electricity, so this site would be different, even if the site was suitable.
It's a great location, pretty much on top of South road, and close to Ayliffs road - located in a tech precinct, with medium density housing at the rear of the site. Maybe they will find an operator at some stage.
Dropped in to Moana to have a squiz.
It turns out I know someone who might be able to get some more info about this site… stay tuned…
Yeah I know someone connected with one of the businesses there so I’ll have a chat with him tonight hopefully. He might or might not know anything.My understanding according to Plug Share is we are expecting it commissioned this week or next. The property manager from MRS got back to Nismo:

I have had a dialogue in regards to this with several political members and others in regards to what’s going on.Ohh and I’ve written to the local member to bring the lack of EV charging in the south to their attention.
Was a very constructive and polite email, lets see if escalating it from my interactions with the council can help in any way.
And looks like the Port Lincoln DC charger is now live in the Chargefox appLooks like 6x AC plugs went live at Port Lincoln Airport yesterday - Port Lincoln Airport (Coming Soon) | North Shields, SA | EV Station
Along with 2x AC plugs at Coffin Bay - Town Jetty Parking (Coming Soon) | Coffin Bay, SA | EV Station
The DC charger at Port Lincoln is all installed and looks like it's just waiting for someone to flick the switch - Eyre St Parking (Coming Soon) | Port Lincoln, SA | EV Station
(fun fact, Google Maps seems to pull in Chargefox data within 24 hours, PlugShare seems.. slower. Will see how long it takes)
It's only the handful of 350kW sites that have a discount - usually branded with the motoring organisation in that state eg NRMA/RACV. Use the Chargefox app and look for the ultra rapid sites (Murray Bridge, Keith, etc)I probably missed it but has the RAA discount been discontinued?
Just planning a trip to Melbourne (if anyone can suggest something interesting to do while there, PM me haha) and looking at where to stop etc.
Ohh sorry about that I thought it was all the sites but I was wrongIt's only the handful of 350kW sites that have a discount - usually branded with the motoring organisation in that state eg NRMA/RACV. Use the Chargefox app and look for the ultra rapid sites (Murray Bridge, Keith, etc)
There's no discount on the RAA Charge (aka SA Govt network as per this thread), yet anyway - everyone pays the same rate, member or not.
It's all the sites that were originally Chargefox's first-party sites.Ohh sorry about that I thought it was all the sites but I was wrong
I don’t live in Melbourne, I live outside. I drive to the edge of Melbourne for work and that’s usually as close as I want to get. But on the occasional trip into Melbourne for an event, the place spins me out, they make up for weather with goings on. Music, art, theatre, sport, whatever you want is happening in Melbourne. Google it, you shouldn’t be disappointed.Just planning a trip to Melbourne (if anyone can suggest something interesting to do while there, PM me haha) and looking at where to stop etc.
I assume that eventually there will be a member discount for the RAA Charge (aka SA Govt EV Network) sites - the site (https://www.raa.com.au/motor/motoring-services/ev-charging-stations) currently saysOhh sorry about that I thought it was all the sites but I was wrong
Thank you for the clarification.
Anyone using the network will save 10% on the cost of charging as a limited time introductory offer. The prices above include this discount.
Yeah cool. Maybe as/ifwhen competition becomes more prevalent in SA they might introduce it.I assume that eventually there will be a member discount for the RAA Charge (aka SA Govt EV Network) sites - the site (https://www.raa.com.au/motor/motoring-services/ev-charging-stations) currently says
There are no 22kW RAA Charge sites - they are all 7kW AC, or 150kW/200kW DC sites.Yeah cool. Maybe as/ifwhen competition becomes more prevalent in SA they might introduce it.
The margins can’t be too big on the slower 7/22kw sites.
There are no 22kW RAA Charge sites - they are all 7kW AC, or 150kW/200kW DC sites.
I assume the pricing will increase by that 10% when the rollout is 'finished', and perhaps keep the 10% discount for RAA members?
(And hopefully motoring groups from interstate, eg NRMA)
