The one on the forklift is dual CCS2/ CHAdeMO. Couldn't tell on the one that's still wrapped but I suspect the same.Will be interesting to see the cables on the two machines at Altona North (can't tell much from zooming in on the pic)

Looks like Carseldine, Qld opened this afternoon
cable looks nice and long
You could say the same about petrol pumps. At least EVs are programmed to not drive away with the cable still connected.Cable is the most vulnerable link in a public charger.
I think it might have a bit missing- thought I saw a retractable thingy somewhere
Tesla didn't account for other cars having their charge ports in different locations, which means right now at certain superchargers in Europe you get Porsches etc parking across three supercharger bays in order to plug in.Tesla makes them short

The fact that we had the opportunity, with a brand-new technology, to agree on a common side at least to put the charging port and we as a species collectively managed to bugger it up so comprehensively is worth a fresh face palm every time I think about it.Tesla didn't account for other cars having their charge ports in different locations, which means right now at certain superchargers in Europe you get Porsches etc parking across three supercharger bays in order to plug in.
I believe other cars will only be able to use SCs if there is 50% capacity. One car using 3 for 1 will muck this up. So, a facility with 6 SCs plus one Porsche and three Teslas would be full but show electronically as having two SCs free. Or 1 Porsche plus one Tesla would show as 33% utilised but effectively be at 66%. Could be very irksome indeed!Tesla didn't account for other cars having their charge ports in different locations, which means right now at certain superchargers in Europe you get Porsches etc parking across three supercharger bays in order to plug in.

It needs to be. You cannot reverse into these bays in any pretty way. If your car needs to go in the other bay (e.g. Tesla) the CCS2 cable has to reach around the charger unit to the car. (The cable on the left is CHAdeMo). I do not know of one yet, but some manufacturer is bound to go old-school and put a charge port behind the number plate in the rear given that all the other possible locations are taken.View attachment 833730

Good time to re-share this! Where is the charge port on that car? - 03-19-2022 : Australian Electric Vehicle Association contact: Charles Gregory in AustraliaI do not know of one yet, but some manufacturer is bound to go old-school and put a charge port behind the number plate in the rear given that all the other possible locations are taken.
Hard to tell from the photo but I should be able to reverse the Y into this slot and drive out once finished charging, however many will struggle. Ok with the CHAdeMO not being used, you, if need be, can park in that slot. It seems strange that given the dominant brand is Tesla they have not catered for them. They really need to use those overhead arms you see in motor racing.View attachment 833730

They may also consider that most Tesla drivers will prioritise using superchargers most of the time, so they may be considering the mix of dominant brands not counting Tesla.It seems strange that given the dominant brand is Tesla they have not catered for them.
So does this charger have 1 x CCS and 1 X CHAdeMO? I don't understand why they have a dedicated CHAdeMO parking space and not have 2 x CCS instead. Isn't it just old Nissan Leaf's which use this? like 1 percent of the EV fleet Seems like a waste.Hard to tell from the photo but I should be able to reverse the Y into this slot and drive out once finished charging, however many will struggle.

I'm just going to copy and paste the same thing I said last time I had this discussion!So does this charger have 1 x CCS and 1 X CHAdeMO?
