like parking meters, don't need one per spaceif they are implemented they would definitely not be in the charging stall itself. They could get a stand alone payment terminal with a paywave reader, enter stall number, swipe card, the relevant stall then activates.
Didn't the NSW Gov rep also say some minor changes are allowed, up to the applicant - that they're quite flexible or something similar to that effect.I also saw the interview on the Ludicrous Feed channel, where the reps from the NSW Government said that they would meet all the requirements, but it could be that they were put on the spot during that interview, and just assumed that was the case.
Bjorn showed a European supplier who has a product based on this concept for kerb side chargers. Typically, the card payment terminal has its own internet connection, so they are quite expensive to have multiple of.like parking meters, don't need one per space
If you install those along an entire street, they can talk to each other using Wi-Fi, and so only one needs a data card.Bjorn showed a European supplier who has a product based on this concept for kerb side chargers.

camping on a charger for nine hours might not be popularCommuter car parks should be relatively cost effective. As you typically leave the car there the whole workday, 2 to 4 kW charging would be appropriate for charging every other day as distance to the train station shouldn't use much energy. At 2 kW you could charge 18 kWh over 9 hours, approximately 120 km range (150 Wh/km), that's more than a whole week of driving to the train station. You could install 175 2kW chargers on the same grid connection as one 350 kW charger.
expected behaviour at commuter carparks- you can't go and unplug cause you jumped on the train and went to workcamping on a charger for nine hours might not be popular
Workplace charging is meant to be camped.camping on a charger for nine hours might not be popular
Things might get awkward if you have several days in a row of overcast weather and your car's battery is getting a little low, but that should be pretty rare, and wind power is still a thing.
True, but we're talking about a world where a significant double-digit% of cars are EVs, by the time anything like this happens. Fast chargers are taxing on the power grid, which completely defeats the purpose of all this. And the folks who rely on plug-and-pray all showing up at a fast charger at once will be, umm, delayed. A lot.And, you know, if that happens you can still pay money and go to a fast charger on the way home or when you do your shopping to top up.
This carpark in Oslo can give you an idea of what is feasible if the will is there.You can oversubscribe AC chargers as well, Tesla Wall Chargers and others have the ability to manage a circuit amongst a number of units. Ramping up and down the allowed load on each unit as cars come and go or finish charging.
I've thought of a model like this in the past, and it makes perfect sense!Plug n Pray would be something you are literally expected to camp on. Charging only occurs during solar sponge hours in the middle of the day, plus any hours where the grid price goes negative. So you'd plug in at, say, 8am, and charging might kick off at 9am, 10am, 11am, whatever.
