Evie EV charging networks

[WoodWombat]

And Evie gets it's Bairnsdale charger working first.
Interestingly it's $0.45/kWh so more than the other CTR chargers.

Bloody legend. Really opens up the area and makes side trips between Cann River and Moe a doddle.

Just think how easy travelling in that area will be when we get Orbost and Omeo as well. Weekend fun drive up over Hotham from Bright to Bairnsdale is suddenly easy, not marginal.

In a year of so, I can see that there might be no part of Victoria that we can't reach easily with any moderate range EV.

Evie's first NT site is live! One of 3 to come in Darwin. Not just the first Evie site but the first 50 kW site in the territory.

Testing the other day:

It's already on the Evie app.

You wouldn't expect so, but I'm sure they're affected by the cost of energy as much as any other Evie location. I checked individual locations on the app and it doesn't show anything about the post-March price (still 40c for everything)

So looking at the Evie app appears all the Evie owned 50kW sites (most part Arena funded) are now $0.45/kWh.

ACT ActwelAGL are $0.50/kWh, though the Hotel Realm one is $0.45/kWh.

Vic CTR remains at $0.40/kWh, with I think a new idle fee of $4/hr (BUT.. it only kicks in after 60min making it near pointless)

One stall of Evie Taree is now back online, since 10 Feb.

I'm curious to know what happened at Taree, it didn't seem to be your usual charger problems.

So good! Moe to Cann River was going to be a bit of a gamble in an SR+, but now a quick 5 min top up coffee break in Bairnsdale makes this an easy trip.

Would still like to see a SC in Bairnsdale so I could skip Moe completely.

It's coming. I agree that Moe is just too close to Melbourne to make a good charging location. Bairnsdale (~280km), Cann River (169km), Narooma (248km), Berry (205km), Sydney (~160km) seems like a pretty easy trip in most Teslas. And if you take some side trips, then you can add in some of the other stops as well (Moe, Bega, Wollongong etc) which either have Tesla Superchargers already, or at least have fast chargers and will have Tesla Superchargers soon.

Two more Evie 50 kW chargers at Lutwyche Market Central in inner North Brisbane, assume Arena funded.

Who is winning on the 50kW and above leaderboard?

 

[moa999]

Who is winning on the 50kW and above leaderboard?

@Chuq can probably answer the broader question.

Evie is certainly ahead on the 2021 Arena suburban funding round given Ampol has to date launched 5 sites, EHT I think a couple in Tasmania, Engie none and I think Chargefox none (in whatever it's two regions were)

Engie none

they better get cracking!

 

[moa999]

In terms of number of actual sites, Evie and Chargefox (including Yurika, Gold Coast Council, WA RAC) have way more sites than Tesla..

But many single stalls and average uptime rate

I haven't looked at the stats but I would say, very clearly, Evie. None of EHT's ARENA sites are live yet.

Chargefox's regions are SA and WA. They have opened one new site in those regions (Port Adelaide Plaza) but I'm not 100% confident that it's related to ARENA funding.

Charged at the Noosaville Evie last week. Noosa area used to be a charger desert, there are now 3 Evie stalls within minutes of the beach, and some other DC stalls around as well. Happy days.

And Evie official announcement on that NT site

Moe becomes more useful travelling back the other way to Melbourne. Gives you more options. Today I travelled back from Cooma, charged at Cann River & tested Orbost (didn't really need to but grabbed 16kw) and then topped up at Moe and home comfortably to the Peninsula.
BTW, If you like coffee, drop into Cafe 3847 at Rosedale. Make sure you avail yourself of the opportunity to use the toilet, You will have never seen anything like it.
