And the development applications for Campbell Town TAS (6 bays) and Brighton TAS (4 bays) are also planned for expansion.
Some are *very* obvious - this is Taylors Lakes:
Brighton:
Cameron Park is definitely on the fringe…of Newcastle.

Taylors Lakes is a traffic planning "fail".
Notice the queue for the carwash on the right? That is the entry to the charging area which in the Google image is currently almost blocked by carwash traffic. That entry has been blocked every time I have been to this charger. You actually need to enter via the "EXIT - No Entry" on the left of the image (which can easily be done unless you are the type who feels uncomfortable ignoring "No Entry" signs).
I don't think I've entered this site correctly yet
I feel it's too stupid and no one is at the chargers anywayI've been stuck in that carwash queue a few times - didn't realise I should enter via the 'No Entry' section. Good to know!
Updates to evie pricing email just came through
Effective January 18th, 2024, our charging prices will be adjusted as follows:

The latest software for Tritium's RTM and PKM chargers supports "Autocharge", apparently their name for plug-and-charge.
I wonder if we'll see it rolled out by Evie at some point, given their close ties to Tritium? On the other hand, Evie have a lot of PK350 chargers and it's not clear if those support it yet.

The "industry" overseas (and here?) have settled on AutoCharge for the equivalent of Tesla's Supercharger setup - it's not "quite" the ISO 15118 standard and technically not as secure, but it is available "now". Eg, Fastned - https://support.fastned.nl/hc/en-gb/articles/115012747127
Evie have already alluded to Autocharge coming for compatible EVs.
See this from October 2023 - Evie EV charging networks
(And the PK350 does support the ISO 15118 standard, if not Autocharge yet)

I don’t understand the layout. There are two parking spots and yet they’ve spent money installing four charger outlets.
And the front one is blowing it's hot air straight back into the second one, so watch that fail quick smart.

It's easy really, here is their logic:
1. Evie and Tritium have overlapping ownership/management
2. Tritium don't make anything better
Admittedly this layout does mean they could charge two CCS2 vehicle at once but you can never fit three at once (unless the third one double parks, blocking the two parking spaces)
Its redundancy - Just in case one (or more) charger breaks down
. No seriously. It also means they can do 2 x CCS2 or 1xChadeMo + 1xCCS2 at the same time
Additionally depending on the congestion it may be possible to charge a third car parked in front of the chargers in the yellowed out bay (rear or front in depending on the car). The car will stick out a bit but the dwell time wont be long.
The end parking bay is best because its shaded by the tree
