I would presume most engineers/designers arent big fan of chademo anyway as it is a standard designed to support the oil industry and make EVs always seem inferior to ICE cars.

Not sure where you get that.
Only standard that can current support V2x, and the Gen2/3 spec can do 400/500kW and it's a much smaller form factor than CCS plugs.
However think it will ultimately be confined to Japan and China.

CHADEMO has been designed on purpose by the oil industry to cause inconvenience to EV drivers with low charging rates, bulky plug, no combined DC/AC charging in one plug.
Gen 2 chademo was only a kneejerk reaction to CCS and afaik there arent even any gen 2 chademo chargers.

Doesn't seem overly positive on any near term regional expansion or more chargers at key sites.

chargegate was actually removed for some model S/X (which were previously heavily throttled to i.e. 80kw peak and 40kw past 50%)

but so does it for a new model 3 or S. I think after 50% you only get 80kw or so.
Queensland’s Electric Super Highway heads west
The Queensland Government is putting $2.75M forward to add another 18 QESH sites, expanding inland from the coast. The new sites are:
The Queensland Government is putting $2.75M forward to add another 18 QESH sites, expanding inland from the coast. The new sites are:
- Charters Towers
- Hughenden
- Julia Creek
- Cloncurry
- Mount Isa
- Goondiwindi
- Stanthorpe
- Winton
- Longreach
- Barcaldine
- Blackall
- Emerald
- Dingo
- Charleville
- Roma
- Miles
- Kingaroy
- Esk
So between the UOQ chargers at Toowoomba & Warwick, the new QESH charger at Goondiwindi, and the new Evie/CTR charger at Shepparton, the only missing link along the Newell Highway between Brisbane and Melbourne will be Moree/Bellata.
Getting closer...
Though maintaining Queensland's disease-free status might warrant pushing NSW/NRMA to stall Moree..

I'm personally hoping for more than one stall - they really need to add stalls to at least some of the existing ones too. They (whoever "they" are) will know by now the traffic through each location and by implication, how often people have to wait.
Thanks to Paul L on the Tm3AU and EVfAU groups.
For anyone else who, like me, has only the vaguest notions of the geography of inland Queensland, I've had a stab at mapping out the new QESH sites with the driveable distances between them.
The new proposed sites are in blue, and existing QESH sites they link to are in green (I didn't bother with the connections in the south-east corner - suffice to say that Esk is well in range of greater Brisbane). Stanthorpe also connects to the NSW NRMA network at Tenterfield (60km).

310km is easy in the SR+. I used to do Mt Isa to Hughenden on one charge in 45C heat with the long range. Also easy. with a bit of degradation its harder, but then you gotta slow down.
