Looks like most of their network is down

I wonder if the chargers are actually still working - ie is it an app account/payment outage, much like what Evie had last year?

Update! We have enabled charging via Guest Mode in the App while we continue to resolve the connectivity issue with our charging app and associated RFIDs. To charge on our network, open the evie app, select Use as Guest and follow the prompts. Thanks for your patience.

Issue resolved. Thank you for your patience as we worked through resolving the connectivity issue with the Evie Charging App yesterday. You can now log into your account and charge as normal.

Been busy this week,

4xCCS2

I had thought they were going to put in a second substation kiosk next to this one near the hungry jacks drive through,

but instead all there is is,

Seems like there is space for a substation kiosk so maybe it is for future expansion or if electricity demand is more then they initially thought.

Probably been mentioned before, but that's a PKM150 "DC microgrid" installation, with one 350kW rectifier supplying multiple charging stations, each of which can charge a single vehicle at up to 150kW.

Physically they look similar to the RTM75s as often used by NRMA and Evie but they're not identical, most obviously the PKM150s have charging lights on the top bevel of the unit.

A site at Fairy Meadow, northern suburbs of Wollongong has been added to Plugshare. No photos yet.

I passed by the BP Marulan northbound charger today, the charger showed available in the app but kept failing to start. Next time better check the Plugshare and BP pulse app at the same time :/

Did you report it to BP 24/7 support?

Do you mean the northern suburbs of Wollongong?

BP Fairy Meadow is next door to a 24hr Maccas (with 24hr toilets), plus 3 other fast food options and an overpriced steakhouse in spitting distance. It'll be a great spot, provided they can install enough stalls.

In reference to Ingleburn.

Was not space for a kiosk substation but just the main switchboard. Can't tell if it is energised so Ingleburn could be ready soon or months based on current sites in various state of construction.

Anyone know when Ingleburn will be finished? Is it a 50Kw or more?

4x75kW CCS would be a fair assumption. Their drive NSW sites will need to be more, this is not one of them. They are using a modular charging system so these also have a path for future upgrades.
As for opening, there are already a few BP sites in an almost complete looking state that have been like that for months. So no guarantees here.

There has been some trenching work between to new switchboard and the existing kiosk substation. Currently covered by temporary plywood trench plates. So work seems to be progressing on this site.

BP Rye on the Mornington Peninsula, Vic added to Plugshare. Stall has already been installed.

It looks like Fairy Meadow, NSW is live.
