EV fast-charging network to roll-out in Australia after funding boost 42 sites, each with a minimum of two 350kW fast chargers “That all adds up to about $1 million a site,” adds Mills. “So that initial investment (of $7 million), that gets us going. Great to see more chargers especially...

NRMA to build EV fast charging network | The NRMA $10 million for 40 chargers (~$250K each) seems like a lot, any idea what WA, QLD or SA works out as? I don’t think Tesla superchargers cost this much but they put more chargers per site which must be cheaper. Edit: related report...

Not sure if anyone here can contribute to this. How many Teslas does it take to black out an apartment block?

Would still need someone for part of the QA testing (human ears for checking for noises) but almost...

Good to see some competition, I wish they could launch a 7 seater. Hope they are successful and go ahead with a charging network but if the focus is commercial they may not hit freeways like Tesla. BYD E6 electric vehicle now available in Australia, more models coming | CarAdvice

An interesting article from NRMA, hopefully there will be more next issue. Also several mentions of other hybrid, PHEV, and the i3 in the issue.
