Jolt opens in another Sydney Council area, opening a charger in Rouse Hill.
ID is HIL002 suggesting there will be more.

Jolt have a DA in front of Hornsby Council now open for comment. JOLT Electric Vehicle Charger - Waitara
Comment is invited directly to Jolt via the council's page (and they will share with Council).
The location is directly outside a club and opposite Waitara station. But there are also a lot of flats in this area so that may help some locals.

I have commented as it's my LGA.
1) It's never free. At a minimum it's 7.14c/kWh.
2) It will get ICEd unless rigorously policed. That area is full of apartments and a lot of those apartments do not have parking so people park in the street. Also the other side of the street is street parking for Waitara train station.
3) While it's better than nothing, installation of single stall chargers do not benefit the community. I actually urged the Council to disallow this. EV charging infrastructure should be multiple stalls - such as kerbside pole charging. Adhoc single stalls should be actively discouraged
I agree with point 3.. and given Jolt chargers in Sydney at least are built into a transformer, there should be no shortage of power, and you'd think it should be simple to have two stalls.
(I'd also prefer 50kW but that comes with more cost and space in rectification)
But a 15min charge (just under 7kWh, or about a 15% top-up in a 3/Y RWD) is definitely free once a day.

Read the fine print...
The cost is not $0.00 and there is an GST
invoice
Effectively 7.14c per kWh for the "free" 7kWh per day

Obviously you've never used Jolt.
Under 7kWh is free.
7.1kWh will hit you with the minimum of $0.50.
9kWh will be $0.92
I've logged many sessions and over 300kWh with Jolt.
See invoice in previous comment for 6.95kWh charging session. Only one for the 24hr period

Was this perhaps not your first charge of the day? It looks from your receipt that you had a billable amount of 0.02kWh.
No
Only charging max 7kWh a day
Try this:
Hint: the reason for the cost is in the fine print. It is actually not the cost of the "paid energy".
Yes it is less than peanuts
But It's not free
Yes, There is a cost (appears to be once per 7kWh) and they issue a tax invoice

Odd. Your email looks totally different to mine. Admittedly, it’s been months since I tried them out when I happened to be in the right area with spare time but the email I received from them looks like this:

Jolt is free for charging sessions that meet the relevant terms and conditions as people have reported. That means you can’t use the word “never”.
I've equally had multiple free 5/6kWh sessions, although I'm typically there for about half an hour so pay a couple of dollars for 9-12kWh.
Just checked my activity. My last totally free charge was in June. So possibly something has changed since then?
But not that it's 7kWh free per day. So I'd you had a short failed 0.2kWh session, then replug for 6.9kWh, you will get hit for the minimum $0.50 charge.

I've been to my local Jolt 6 times in the last month. I have 5 of the "thanks for charging" email with a zero cost, and one invoice for 50c for 0.03 kWh. Fwiw, The one invoice came from when I had a session less that 24 hours after the last one.
Re 3 I think this attitude is a little odd. I agree multi stalls should be encouraged but a single stall is always going to be better than nothing.
I
Which is what I said. However, I think they have the capability of putting in more than one stall a and single stalls should be discouraged. Councils can and should set the standards for EV infrastructure.
jolt said free 7kWh.
I'm saying a 7kWh is never free
Nope. I've had many single successful charges to 7kWh and every time 50c has been charged. If there was a short failed session it would be on another tax invoice. Even if it was a combined dual charging session on one invoice the total charge was still less than 7kWh and so should be free under Jolt advertising.

I've had one of those. In this session I accidentally pressed stop charging then resumed charging.
In this session total charge was 7.02kWh. I can understand if they charged for the 0.02kWh but does not explain the 6.95kWh invoice

I would think 1630pm on one day and 1929pm the next day would be more than 24hrs. 50c still appeared.
