Wasn’t aware of Rutherford. Wouldn’t bother with the free nrma one until it becomes paid. Not really worried about range etc. we can do like 95% of our round trips without worrying about public charging which is the entire point. It’s good that options are opening up.

NRMA EV Fast Charger Network www.mynrma.com.au The corner charger may not reach if your non Tesla charger plug is on the passenger side rear panel & you reverse in. Make sure you park very close to parking divider line & almost on top of car next door.

NRMA 50kw charger is only 10km away. not bad

I have both a 3 phase and single phase fixed charger at my house. Realistically a single phase 32A charger will charge your car over night so it is fast enough. A Model 3 or Y can only take 11kW so 7.7kW single phase is fine.
I am hoping the Cybertruck will have 22kW built in charger though, which will slightly change the equation.

New Ampol DA at Ampol Waitara. So far it's the only one I know that's easily accessible between Northconnex and the M1. It's still quite a way from starting, but at least the DA is up. Across the road from the Bluegum Inn which has great amenities and also close to the railway station. It says HYC 150 in the DA. Is that 150 kW?
Nearly 100 solar panels and battery storage coming with it.

Yep nice location.
HYC will be the Amplitronic Hypercharger unit which were the units the original Ampol sites were listed as and appeared in renders.
Unlike the ABB 180 units that they actually installed, the HYC 150 can be ordered with water cooled cables enabling up to 500A, sufficient for an actual 150kW with a Tesla.
Guess we need to wait and see what they actuall install at Thornleigh and Waitara

DAs for other locations have mentioned HYC150 on the plan but ended up with the ABB units... so don't read too much into it as yet.
Bjørn Nyland describes ABB as “Always Be Broken”
so DCFC problems aren’t the sole domain of Tritium 
The site plans for Ampol Pheasants Nest have been officially revised from 2 to 6 stalls per side. Very nice since the trenching for BP Pulse at Marulan suggests 2 stalls max.
Looks like my little birdie was spot on!
I'm there now. Nothing interesting has happened yet. The rebuild has barely started.
Interesting the southbound site also has that section marked Electric Vehicle (2) opposite what is the highlighted AMPCharge site.
I was thinking it might be something else (eg say a Tesla charger), but possibly a carryover from the prior plans?
Article on the AmpCharge funding - interesting they are receiving $9m of the $39m for 19 sites / 110 bays (of 86 / 500+).

The journo seemingly can't use the maps tool to see which other sites are also 10 stalls.

Just noticed on the Port Stephens Council DA tracker (I was actually looking for info about the supercharger, but found this)
Refers to an application for the Ampol at 40 Richardson Rd, Raymond Terrace NSW 2324 - that was approved in Aug 2022 (may or may not have already been mentioned).
No plans available from either application unfortunately. The old one, probably because it's already been determined; the new one, maybe I'm too soon - was only submitted yesterday.

Ampol contracts with Yurika for rollout of remaining Arena sites.

Can I place a bet on those EV Charging bays (5 and 6) being Iced most of the time? 30 kW of solar on the roof should go a long way to making it cost neutral.
72 Panels
440 watts per panel
= ~30kW

@Chuq are the plans for the Pheasants Nest service Centre somewhere online?
They have commenced construction and last time I was there the cashier suggested that EV charging was coming.

Ampol have a list of 34 australia wide sites as coming soon,
ampcharge.ampol.com.au
with a note of more to come in this year. They all appear to be there ARENA funded sites, just under a third of their funded sites remaining.
