NRMA fast charging network

Have just now returned and can report that the 3 NRMA chargers that I used in in Young, Bathurst and Armidale on my return trip were still free.
I used the Bathurst one only because it is right alongside the Tesla chargers, there were no other ev's anywhere in sight and it was free to use. A very odd spot for a free charger - which explains it's popularity with Tesla owners (as evidenced on Plug Share).
I used the Armidale one because my wife could not remember our easy Tamworth/Tenterfield trip back in January and was concerned about arrival a SOC of 18%. If you leave Tamworth with 90-100% you make Tenterfield easily.
Used one Chargefox, one Evie and quite a few free Hotel destination chargers. Total charger cost to me was $306 for 4,432 kms. Happy chappy.

Unless I have an old version (there are no updates pending), the map and system is still a bit inconsistent.
No complaints, just observing.
You open up the "pin" for Scone (NSW), and it's a different pin type, and completely different display than Pokolbin for example. Scone helpfully includes peak charging time graph and so forth, whereas this information is missing from other sites.

The single sites have a pin.
The dual sites have a circle then you have to select the individual stall to see the chart.
And looks like the majority of NRMA chargers are now billed, including Tanunda in SA and Bourke.
Picton surprisingly still free along with a handful of others.

Lithgow also still free (I wish it cost money); left hand charger broken (has been for several weeks).

That wasn't the part of the update I thought people here would be interested in
NRMA Blue has been renamed MyNRMA (it's the $5/month tier) and it includes 10% off the charging:

Join my nrma today to receive 10% discount every time you charge your electric vehicle at NRMA Electric chargers.

You'd have to charge probably twice a month to make it worth the $5, if that's all you're joining for (you do get a decent discount on NRMA Insurance though).

Seems NRMA have had a change of heart on Albury Charger,
It is back up in its original location, though with limited hours.
Seems like it is still temperamental with some chargers being reported on plugshare but also a number of unexpected disconnections or straight failures.

Jindabyne now billing
Picton, Holbrook, Hay, Narrandera, Jugiong (broken) remain listed as Free.
Lithgow not showing on the map, reportedly still free but one stall broken.
I thought I had signed up for a trial 6th mth free NRMA Blue membership, but pricing still showing as 60c for me.

The pricing shows as 60c for me too, but my charge history shows I paid 54c.
