Jolt EV charging network

Bjorn Nyland is facepalming 
Oh, I have no issue with Jolt being what it is.
I have an issue with them calling 25 kW “fast”.
Make that ~18 kW after subtracting the 6.5kw my Tesla will use heating the battery for half an hour.
Admittedly that's a Tesla, not Jolt issue.
Agree that they aren't particularly fast.
But generally global definitions (though lots of people use different terms) seem to be:
Granny (Lev 1) - slowest common pervasive AC plug - so 10A in AU, 13A in UK, 10A 120/240 US
Slow (Lev 2) - rest of the AC chargers up to 32/40A
Fast (Lev 3) - anything DC
Ultra/Super-Fast - DC above 100kW
Jolt seems back online a few hours early.
I followed the instructions on Android and deleted old app and followed the email link, which looked the same but downloaded a new app with the new mostly green logo.
New app is more customised with big Jolt pins and generic pics of green boxes (Sydney) versus stalls (Adelaide) and now looks quite different to the Evie app.
(Very similar to Exploren if anyone has that)
Station IDs have also dropped the "G" and a CCS2/CHAdeMO only identifies as a single unit..
Finally seems to have a section to Scan an RFID card at a Jolt station and use that going forward (so maybe can use Chargefox/Evie ID cards or credit cards - too be tested).
Nothing about Plug n Charge like the Chargefox app has.
Stations still aren't showing on Plugshare

Strangely the All Green Icon doesn't appear in Play Store, but is the new version once you re-install.
My advice is don't add a payment method until you need to use it. The FREE 7kWh/day seems to be a 12 month limit now starting from when you add your payment method.

I sent them an email about the RFID cards and they are not going to use them.
The app is being patched to remove the option.
It is a pain because I have found the RFID option more reliable than mobile connectivity.

Went out to a Jolt Sydney charger to see if I could try to get RFID working... But they don't have a reader - so never going to work.
New app is quite nice. Shows rate in kW to 2dp while charging. Was generally running about 22.7kW for the session for me, with Tesla showing 19 or 20.
And unlike the old app now has an End Session button.
Also has a neat charging speed graph shown at the end of the session.

Would be good to have a pre-set amount like petrol pumps, say 7kWh
New Jolt charger shown as active in Sydney's Forestville - NBE002
Another new Jolt in Sydney's Northern Beaches NBE003 in Oaks Ave, Dee Why outside the new Meriton development with Woolworths.
From Street view this might be more like the Adelaide sites as the AusGrid box is setback from the road.

Good point but I'd guess that would be addressed as 17-19 instead. Anyhow. Will see when people actually use it
21 Oaks from council info and Freshwater Electric Vehicle Charging Station proposed locations traffic committee meeting was 1st feb 10am. Forestville reported active same day. They must have been sitting in the truck waiting for the signal.
