Chargers by Location (Hotels, etc)

Matt Peterson has indicated that Petersons winery in the Hunter valley is about to install two free HPWC's. I am not sure whether they are up and running yet, but they soon should be.

Great news!

Haven't used the GE one - looks like a socket charger.

GE's head office is there so I think it's more for employees and as a demonstration - and despite being in Burnley, it's basically in the middle of nowhere - no amenities apart from a cafe out front for all the office buildings employees. Why would you want to charge there? Though there is a golf course nearby...

Does anyone know anything about the EV parking spots at Victoria Gardens near IKEA? It could be a really handy spot to park when it's busy there, but I would have no intention of actually charging there. The spots look very small too - presumably when they were installed no one imagined an electric car being anything more than a 50km range shopping basket.

Parking and not charging it considered worse than ICEing a charging spot, because EV drivers should know better.

Ill just have to pretend to charge it then. I don't think there's ever been an EV spotted there. J1772 I think.
