Yes that was very clear. I was saying I have never seen one at a NRMA site. Has anyone else? My feeling is that NRMA never adopted this option (which gives the appearance of an after market solution). In saying that, Tritiums site says they sell a variant of the RT50 with an integrated credit card reader, but that does not appear to be what NRMA installed back in the day.
That will be good. Someone should set up a webcam. Mittagong would be fun too.
Given until tomorrow all NRMA chargers have been free, they've had no need for a billing solution.

They wouldn't have been much use at NRMA sites, given there's no payment to be made. (Unless you're asking if anyone has seen them retrofitted at sites in the last week or so?)

Picton has one of the older Tritium units and is part of the initial 3 site trial. They possibly chose the Picton one over Mittagong for that reason. Might be interesting to watch that one over the next couple of weeks as they fine tune their new payment processes.
We will see what they do at Picton (thats if they accept contactless cards at all initially) as it still has the original RT50 stall.
Both Olympic Park and the two stalls at Wallsend are now RTM75s with the Payter terminal.

Yes this. The separate bollard solution shown doesn't look like something that they would be able to deploy statewide in a matter of days.
If they were going with something like this, you'd think these bollards would have been spotted, even if they were under shrouds or something.
For Olympic Park, there's plenty of other places to charge nearby. For regional chargers it will mean people who are road tripping may actually be able to use them instead of locals queuing up for a free charge.
Otherwise the app is a bit of a mess.
Why didn't they use Chargefox?
Seems to run as a sub-app, so any use of the back button takes you back to the main MyNRMA app, and instead you have to use close and map buttons.
All major CCs accepted inc AmEx. No Apple or Google Pay however. And my saved Google Pay cards didn't auto-fill under Android.
Has a favorites feature, though it doesn't obviously show in use or not.
Also has Tesla-esq use graphs for the chargers.

Yes, I've also got it.
However, still cannot find anywhere for a CC. You can see the price/kwhr (as previously) but nothing else other than directions.
All I can find that is changed is the addition of EV Ts & Cs (Taxis, commercial vehicles, Ubers NOT allowed) and some simplistic FAQs.
How did you get into that "sub app"?
EDIT: Found it under Services. A bit obscure but now I know....
