ChargeFox EV charging Network
- Thread starter Chuq
- Start date
To be honest, it makes perfect sense. All the Victoria Chargefox ultra-rapid sites have RACV branding. The Toombul site has RACQ branding. The announcement about the Campbell Town site was a co-branded press release from RACT and Chargefox.
And of course, NRMA's activity on the Hume and Pacific Highways have been very light on.
The big question is, do these count towards both Chargefox's 22 stations and NRMA's 40 stations?
(my guess is it counts only as a Chargefox site)

Is that electricity leaking out of the charger?!
Nah, the petrol generator in the cabinet has a fuel leak
It was Syd_EV's original tweet that prompted me to ask
That thing being unloaded looked the right shape and size to be a 5B Maverick solar pack before being unfolded. Thought it might have been a battery but it's pretty narrow.
This morning Chargefox announced the locations of the remainder of their 22 site "first stage"...
Australia's largest EV charging network announces new sites - Chargefox
Not too many surprises there! They did say there would be up to 100 sites eventually

This network is really important for the uptake of EV's in Australia as a whole, as obviously superchargers are Tesla only, someone needed to duplicate the network for all EV's.
Update, it seems the precise addresses (for most) are on the Chargefox app:
Nice! I see the "Central Tasmania" one is at Kings Meadows. I think I would have preferred Campbell Town (very convenient place to stop when driving between Hobart and Launceston), but I'll certainly take this!
Hopefully Evie out one in Campbell Town then.
I'm fairly certain Kings Meadows is not going to be the final location
Perth/Longford would be better if that's the part of the state their aiming for. People don't detour into Launceston when driving from the north-west to the south. At the moment they go through Perth, though soon Perth will be bypassed and will be in a similar situation to Longford.That would make a lot more sense!I'm fairly certain Kings Meadows is not going to be the final location
The thing to remember is that the people deciding these things don't live and travel here so don't know the local driving patterns/routes taken. Chargefox have shared this map on Facebook and Twitter so I recommend locals provide the local advice that may help

From @moemoke in the NRMA thread, so crossposting here:
Not 100% sure about the last line - these *are* the Chargefox ones. This is the address listed in their app, and they have the Chargefox logo at the top. Chargefox use a mix of ABB and Tritium brand hardware (in this case they are all Tritium).
Chargers at Moe almost ready, they are located at Old Gippstown which is on the Western end of Moe about 200m off the Princes Freeway East bound (also accessible for West bound traffic)
Looks like 2 different sorts of chargers so not sure if they have different rates, photo was from a few days ago, looks like it just needed the carpark sealing work to be finished.
One issue maybe that they have a big car show here on Fathers day and fence of this area for the show, I'm not sure how they will cope with people wanting to charge at that time.
The chargers look like Tritium brand not the Chargefox that are also rumored for Moe.

Confirmed
CCS2 adaptors for type 2 cars, while on the Tesla web site are not yet available in Australia. I checked. This is a real pain since J1772 seems to be being phased out. The NRMA chargers in Pokolbin Hunter valley are CCS@ and ChaDemo. Useless to me in my type2 only car!

CCS adapters definitely are available in Australia. I have one. But I think that, for older model s and x, you need to have some installation done to your car too in a Tesla workshop for them to work.
