Hay opened yesterday:
PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You
Also from listening to NRMA presentations at the EV Expo (and chatting to NRMA staff there), I learned that:
- Hay will open shortly (they were right about that!), followed by Mildura then Port Macquarie;
- The NRMA co-branded Chargefox ultra-rapid sites are separate and do not count towards their 40 locations;
- Their intention is to cover 97% of journeys within the state - when I mentioned routes to Broken Hill, to Bourke, etc. they were tight lipped but didn't say no.
- Free charging for non members would be ending soon; for members, they would be able to identify themselves as members through a phone app. Rate for non-members not mentioned.
- There is potential for reciprocal arrangements with other state motoring bodies like RACQ, RACT etc. no promises.
