Evie does seem to like using UI coding jargon in their App update descriptions… which their developer probably thinks is cool and funky, but it’s not a helpful way to communicate.

After having a look at a handful of sites in all states... I can't see anything related to busy / wait times shown yet.
Anyone else had any luck? Curious to see how it looks...
They've also just posted this callout on Facebook (I assume the spare spots won't last very long....)
Based on the exclusion list, I'm guessing it might be related to AutoCharge (aka but not quite Plug & Charge), since it doesn't work with them...

Seems Evie have moved to more price tiers.
AC 22kW - $0.35/kWh (only a few sites)
50kW - $0.50/kWh. (maybe also 75kW if they have any)
150kW - $0.60/kWh. (handful of newish sites)
350kW - $0.65/kWh

And good to see Tesla isn't on the exclusion list .
I think Autocharge is the same as Plug n Charge, just some manufacturers cars aren't compatible with the full ISO standards.
Anyone got any feedback on the discussion?
I haven't managed to get the similar feature working with AMPCharge
Tesla, BYD, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Fiat, Mercedes, Volvo, Polestar and Mini must be in - possibly others
what’s a Maxus?
answer: LDV, SAIC etc
Evie are claiming to be entering November with "over" 97% uptime in today's email newsletter.

Their 'unique' identifier isn't actually unique, so it can't be used for automatically charging... and charging your account when you plug in.

I noticed that too, but seriously, who used it (hardly anyone, given the number of reviews posted), and what purpose did it serve? If there’s an issue, you’d be better off calling Evie direct. A stale review tells you very little.
I'm pretty sure the "unique identifier" in question here is the MAC address (the connection between car and charger is a network link, I believe it even uses TCP/IP). This wasn't actually intended to support "plug and charge" type functionality.
The reviews section was pretty useless.
Checking Plugshare however, it's pretty clear their reliability has improved a lot this year.

The device needs to check a given RFID card ID is valid/authorised EVIE card associated with an account. Likely the device only keeps a record of previously used cards that it confirms with a central server as valid as apposed to periodically syncing a local copy of a network based database of all such cards. As the network is out it cannot check on the validity of a previously unseen card.
