Noting my comments on the NSW EV Grants thread. Possibly not good news for the proposed Jindabybe Supercharger. All the other seems OK. Griffith is the only other site noted but has just commenced construction.

Was discussed here before the supercharger team news https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8225974/ DA was seemingly approved 19-June-24, so probably worth keeping this as a separate thread.

You'd probably be better have been placing this in the Australian forum. Think last quote I'd seen posted on one of the local FB forums for a RWD was about A$18k, but don't think I've seen any reports of replacements out of warranty (and even that is a very small number of early failures)...

To provide clarity on this in Australia for anyone else who happens across this thread. See the Australian Supercharger Wiki. V2 supercharges have the dual plugs and can be used natively by older S and X's (older sites mostly rolled out 2017-2020 on primary routes) V3 and V4 have the single CCS2...

Gets the NRMA logo in Plugshare before in the Chargefox App.

In the last 48hrs I've had Linkt, Coles and Everyday rewards SMS scams. All straight to spam SMS folder by my phone.

(suggestion elsewhere that this was meant to be a prize for a single Linkt user, not 200kWh for everyone)

Agreed no pattern, but thought worth diving into in case there was one. And we don't know if the dots ever made it to the map. Eg. Two grants for Griffith would be feasible (popn of 20k) Probably not a good sign for likelihood of a Jindabybe Supercharger however.

Suburb and regional city lists in Appendix 4 (Won't list them all) But interesting that some in Sydney and Regional have a * - *Zone has been reopened from a previous round. And adding my comments on what was there, assuming these were previously awarded. Sydney - Available standard...

Quite a few in NSW now at licensed clubs (whether RSL, catholic, league or rules). Generally big facilities with lots of solar and large carparks

Interesting to note from Plugshare that this site has been having a few issues over the last couple of months. With various stalls up and down. Currently showing all online via the app.

What software are you using to pull that all together? If I recall you've got a 2019. Light bleed on indicators is much worse than my mid-2020.

Per a photo shared to Ludicrous Feed YT, confirmed upgraded to V4 (made in China). Also has a single V3 wall charger that shares a spot with one charger.

No the Library which doubles as council offices.

OT for the Superchargers, but given my last. A number of these wall chargers at Waverley Library (total 11 in a row plus two singles) have been activated. Unfortunately.. the signage suggests they are for Council Vehicles only, no public usage. Using yet another app enevi which looks very...

In general with Superchargers they switch on when they switch on. Sometimes within days of the stalls going up, other times it can take months - mostly dependent on grid connections being installed or upgraded.

Mansfield was on the list for a while, then in 2021 it got replaced by Yea which eventually opened. It then won a yellow dot in the Q3 2023 voting. But with the recent changes to the supercharger rollout who knows what will happen to those sites.

Agree. But as we saw with 4c supermarket fuel discounts, discounts and especially free, have a weird attachment. At least in Sydney's East I'm suspecting some rideshare drivers have found Jolts unlimited plans and are using the chargers as waiting zones off peak. Which then actually reduces...

As is the forums right.. by posting on a public forum you essentially give up part of your copyright in the post to the forum.

They look more like RTM75s. The 350s have the much larger screen.

Believe that's the case. Note even if you are logged in the new Ampol app doesn't even appear to show prices which I view as a pretty major oversight. (Believe it's all 69c/kWh) Afaik the price screen is locked until you are within GPS reach of the charging site.

All photos I think are from the recent V3 to V4 upgrades and new sites in NSW (Clockwise Orange (ed), Taree, Raymond Terrace, Figtree). Numbers include NZ.

New suburban BP site in Sydney on Anzac Pde in Kingsford, just past UNSW. Seems to be a single 75kW dual CCS2

Had you used it an not fully closed it? The car will send alerts if the frunk/trunk or any doors are not closed.

Wagga Wagga back online and presumably now V4, which completes the NSW Govt funded ones. Be interesting to see if Tesla upgrade anymore V3s. The most obvious one in NSW would be Holbrook which is a Hume Hwy fill-in site and originally had the any-car barcode signs (since replaced)

Plugshare has been pretty poor in responding to locked site edits recently. Combined with the decision to not show allow prices to be shown on many sites, its like they are trying to drive users away.

Just hope people charging at night will be considerate to residents opposite with their use of headlights. Though I suspect similar issues as to what occured in Keith SA.

Future nearby NSW Govt site at BP Marulan should relieve Exeter (at least for northbound traffic, the road layout makes it poor for southbound unless that changes)

Evie also still have a bunch of the original Arena funded 350kW ultra-fast sites to build. Think at last count they were at 25 of 42. Think @Chuq still has these tracked And some of these (eg. Avenel on the Hume in Vic) have been having reliability issues recently.

Tenterfield appears back up this morning, so presumably now V4.. just Wagga Wagga to reopen.

Probably also the large Vic regional network which are more off the high traffic routes. I wonder whether their 350kW regional network has higher utilisation (when it's working). Also while 'T' is mentioned in the article, the obvious question isn't asked.

Interesting that Metro utilisation is much higher than non-Metro.

Looks like Elanga is installing these very compact 50kW/ 2x25kW at Chatswood Central in Springwood in Southern Brisbane. https://elanga.com.au/product/alpitronics-50kw/

Plus I guess any future Japanese vehicles imported as 2H vehicles, given it seems Japan is sticking with CHAdeMO domestically.

Four parking spots and four cables, but two stalls. Plugshare entry suggests both CCS2/CHAdeMO, but hopefully at least one is dual CCS2

NRMA to add two new stalls in Lithgow at council Eskbank St carpark. Attached docs suggest ABB Terra 184 units. https://ourplaceourfuture.lithgow.com/lithgow-ev-charging-stations/

So in the coming week (starting 18 June) we've got V4 upgrades at Tenterfield, Wagga Wagga and Wollongong, and possibly an activation at Taree

Noted this one at a hotel in Newcastle.. great they have installed 9 charging points. But with all the add-ons would work out at $0.90-1.05/kWh (for 11-7kW speeds)

Not that I'm aware of.. The other EV charger vandalism has been mostly smashed screens and plugs. V2/V3 superchargers had the advantage of no screen and a plug that could barely reach the floor. V4s a little different, though the screen is still pretty small. Fully striped copper cable is...

Speed cameras appear to be back for me today without any update.

For those who have to use the Chargefox app to start (no RFID) probably a better chance.

A nice update to Chargefox app.

And in Qld.. all the way up to Cooktown. Lots of artistic license in those dots. And only 10 blue dots.

And stalks, ultra sonic sensors, rear cross path sensors, servicing, dealership add-ons. Seeing a pattern?

Plenty of posts on the various FB forums about three across in both the 3 and Y. But you definitely need slimline seats to fit three. Britax Graphene seems a common choice.

My only other thought was maybe the person meant Woy Woy, albeit possibly a bit south for that contractor.

Or lives close by. Gets in car checks and hits reserve then drives straight to charger. Anyhow did a session later in the day and noticed that the car slowed below 22kW above 75% which I hadn't seen before. Was down to about 16kW at 80%. I haven't seen that behaviour before (possibly latest...

And a picture. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/34esafsnquiS4jQ7/?mibextid=oFDknk

Alerted by post of @rx80, Video of new V4 Superchargers at Chatswood in Sydney's North. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/sLNzdE11rXMcsJm9/?mibextid=oFDknk Poster reports 8 V4s. Will still be some time off as while the stalls are up there are no power cables in the conduit. At The Mix @...

But far from me but seems the Australian/Chinese Elumina units at Mittagong are having teething issues. Listed as free on NRMA app but paid on Chargefox (a problem in itself). But a number of posts on Plugshare of people only getting 8kW or quickly dropping to 8kW. Not clear if this represents...
