The NSW DCFC grants recommend (but do not mandate) that “Sites will need to provide a minimum of four adjacent parking spaces to host public EV fast charging. Ideally, these spaces will be accessible to EV drivers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week”

Can't find a similar statement in the Arena guidelines for the funding round where these chargers likely came from.

Evie's 20th 350kW site at Warrenheip (Vic) - just on the Melbourne side of Ballarat.

So they are almost halfway (the funding from Aug 2019 was for 42 sites).
Hopefully Ampol Cameron Park (nr Newcastle) is next.. the chargers were installed a few weeks ago.

Today we celebrated our newest highway site in Warrenheip, Victoria.🎉 Partly funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, the site is delivered in partnership with Viva Energy Australia marking...

Wow.. they snuck that one out.. I live in Ballarat and drive past almost Daily and never saw this go in.. it’s not even in PlugShare..
Ballarat is pretty spoilt now.. Tesla, Chargefox in town and now Evie behind the Shell on the Western highway..
kinda wondering why they did not install it 100\150km down the road at Ararat or Stawell.. but I’ll take it..

Warrenheip back to 4 already.
Someone's added it now. I'm guessing it's tucked away in the far back corner so maybe not noticeable from the road.
HomeCo Belrose (northern Sydney) discussed a few posts back also open.

Went today, hidden out the back behind Shell and Oliver’s.. very good spot
It's not actually out of order though. If you see one out of four like that it generally means someone has plugged into it but not started the session yet, or something like that.
Similar to the way that the if the CCS2 port is in use, the corresponding CHAdeMO port will say "in maintenance" even though it's really just unavailable while the other port is in use.
That’s terrible software writing if that’s the case. Software engineers should take instruction from the UX experts, and not think they know better, and present meangingless or engineering text to the end user. A message like “Unavailable - Other Port In Use” would be much more informative, because ”in maintenance” could mean that port won’t work until a tech visits in 3 weeks’ time.
It's an issue of interfaces.
You have dozens of charger manufacturers with different capabilities, a third party designed protocol to communicate with them, a charger management software system, and the end-user app on top of that. It's not entirely surprising if some details don't get adequately translated making their way through those layers sometimes.

I’ve always seen it work as described in your second paragraph - as soon as you take one connector out, it immediately sets that one as “in use” and the other as “in maintenance”. Agree with others, a better description could be used!
It's only difficult if you're trying to use the correct charger. Like this.
If you use the next charger over, but park in the last space, then it's easy as. But that means only one car can charge at a time after hours. I'd rather stretch the cable as above so someone else could theoretically use the other stall.

Evie's first site funded with the Destination Charging Across Victoria grants has been installed at Hastings!
I've posted in the dedicated DCAV thread - Victoria Destination Charging Across Victoria Program - considering there are going to be 55 of these sites coming, it might help to centralise them all over there!

Evie coming soon to Paralowie Village in North Adelaide. Assuming this is Arena funding.
