That’s a bit ordinary. I’d trust Apple/android pay with their number obfuscation over putting my actual credit card details into yet another app which at some-stage will probably get hacked (when they get it working).AmpCharge app or Ampol app?
Talk about confusing! They tell you to use AmpCharge app, then stop functions and want you to move to another app that has all the other stuff for ICE vehicles
I opened a ticket coz the AmpCharge app shows ApplePay as an option but does nothing… their response “we’re working on it”- nothing for months

Stockland and Ampol rev up superfast EV charging stations
Property landlord Stockland has joined forces with fuel supplier Ampol to roll out AmpCharge fast and ultra-fast electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

So it looks like mostly regional locations, 4-8 stalls, and 150 kW units (or as low as 75 kW if sharing) - overall a great addition.
Yes, from the point of view it further negates the fire risk myth.
However, a charge session using Ampcharge @75kW let alone 150kW would still be too fast for the average normal shopper.
Looking at our own shopping habits, a 25kW DCFC would be better IMO. For a M3RWD that would be near 50% SOC in 1 hour and would leave enough time for a 1-2hr shopping visit. Too fast and it would necessitate a return and move the car in the middle of a shopping visit. Maybe a mix of both would be ideal. For the same electrical load 2x75kW can be 6x25kW chargers.
Yes, really great... if you live on the mainland :-}
I cannot help but feel a little left out in that the number of new fast chargers available in Tasmania over the last 12 months seems to be approaching something like... zero.
Is Stockland like Westfield type arrangement?Article in today’s SMH:

Delivered and Lovin it!
You're looking at it as "do some charging while I'm here for shopping", but there's a good chance that Ampol and Stockland are thinking of it as "grab a few things from the shops while I'm here for charging".
Since they're in country towns there's a good chance they'll be in places that people go through on a longer journey.

Can you even drive far enough in Tasmania to run out of charge?

The EV chargers will be rolled out over the next 18 months at the following locations:
Ampol to roll out more than 100 EV fast charging bays across Stockland shopping centres
Stockland and petroleum retailer Ampol announce plans to roll out one of the country’s largest networks of fast and ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
thedriven.io
The EV chargers will be rolled out over the next 18 months at the following locations:
- Burleigh Heads, Baringa, Birtinya, Hervey Bay, and Rockhampton in Queensland;
- Point Cook and Wendouree in Victoria;
- Harrisdale and Baldivis in Western Australia; and
- Merrylands, Wetherill Park, Shellharbour, Glendale, Green Hills, Forster, and Piccadilly (Sydney CBD) in New South Wales
To get to a shopping centre to do their weekly shop is also another scenario. For those customers a 75kW would give them a 50-100% in 30min or less.
A quick in and out is never what shopping centres want - they want longer dwell time - hence the free 3hr parking at most.
A mix of DCFC speeds would be good so that both types can ge catered for

I think 11kW AC is even better, costs comparative peanuts to install. As long as they were not free, you could have 40 of them and basically guarantee a spot for arrivals.

How are Tesla Gen 3 monetised and who is responsible for the maintenance? (I know there are other AC EVSE). ChargeFox or Exploren?
The DCFC would be owned, operated and maintained by AmpCharge.

There is no reason that AmpCharge or whoever could run and maintain a AC network just the same. They have some basic information on their website.
