What you'll use if you arrive at a DC site and it doesn't have a working charger, or even if the DC chargers are busy.
That's neat - so all you need as a type2-type2 (menneke) cable and you can always plug in even if the DC charger is busy? Any recommendations on the length one should get for this? standard seems to be 5m (15ft) I suppose you'd want it to be extra long in case all spots are taken.
The AC chargers usually have two sockets, so you may have to reach over to the opposite corner of the car. 5m should be plenty. Have a look at the photos of some of the installations on Plugshare. The AC chargers are the small boxes next to the larger DC charger stations.

no big deal, only really need to charge in Maryborough, Carmilla, Proserpine and Townsville (evie) on the way.
get yourself a chargefox rfid (chargers are in rural locations and might occasionally not have a phone signal) and evie account.

Should be a really nice trip - hope you enjoy it. How long do you think it will take? CheersI'll be doing a video blog of a trip I'm doing through queensland in July.

10 days. 9 days with a spare day.
2 days to get up to Rockhampton.
Then it slows down.
Day 3 to longreach.
Day 4 to winton.
Day 5 to Mt isa.
Day 6 to Barkley road house.
Day 7 to Mataranka.
Day 8 to Katherine
Day 9 to Darwin.
Ok - sounds like a great trip - although there may be a bit of the GAFA in there. So 10 days of great videos to watch I hope - are you returning the same way? Another great road trip like Tesla Tom with his Adelaide trip - I'm somewhat jealous of the both of you. Cheers
I had to look up what 'GAFA' stands for. The Great Australian f-all. Nice.
After a month in Darwin, I'll be coming back via Alice springs, port Augusta, mildura...

Beat me to it. But from Mark Bailey MP, a combined map. Yellow arrows for the new sites.

I still think that Emerald-Barcaldine leg is a surprisingly big gap to leave!
