I thought it might be something like that.
The first thing I am doing when our MY is delivered is stop at all the chargers I will commonly use and charge using the card.
I would assume there would be a similar thing in place for Chargefox also.
I should really look into sourcing these RFID cards for chargers im likely to come across

Gah. Remember when you could pay for stuff without an internet connection? Seems like a potentially significant 'national security' vulnerability to have transport linked with something as fragile as the 'mobile internet'. But hey that's not my field so perhaps it's not as stupid as it seems to the uninformed.
I wonder whether chargers at staffed petrol stations could be paid for in the normal way (cash at the register). Presume not for 3rd-party chargers (like ChargeFoxes etc) but maybe the Ampol (?) and potentially BP (?) ones.

I doubt it, at least in terms of BP. You can't even pay for a BP Pulse charging session with a BP Fuel Card, and nor does it attract BP Rewards.
It looks like they have a completely separate system behind the scenes, with no integration into their normal business operation. Snifing around, I personally wonder whether the whole this is outsourced to an external "White label" supplier.
Interop standards like OCPP/OCPI would make that easier/possible, wouldn't they?
Thatās the first thing I did with every charging provider Iāve used (ChargePoint, Chargefox, Evie and SmartCharge) - ordered an RFID card. ChargePoint have since exited, but I still have their card and apparently their few remaining chargers that are still working will still respond to it.
And then people buy illegal mobile phone jammers in order to take the station offline and get free charges? I donāt think soā¦
I just feel sorry for all the small business owners who lost trade today because hardly anyone carries cash. A friend who owns a bakery lost about 75% of his trade today and still has to pay his staff and do something with the food. He has bought Telstra dongles to hotspot his eftpos machines to now and keeps them in each store just in case.
And the govt wants to push us to a cashless digital economy..
I heard the new ticket machines on Adelaide metro fell over today too.

Also one popped up on Plugshare today at Mittagong as Coming Soon, just down the road from the NRMA site (usage has seemingly dropped since it became non-free).
On Plugshare
Me - Activity - New Locations useful to check every week or so. Seems to show new chargers within about 100km.
