Precisely. You wouldn't want to legislate away the chance to even have a 50kW charger. 150kW means you need guaranteed supply of 215A per phase, which may be unobtainable in many locations. It also means a much higher grade of installation which I'm assuming further erodes the viability of the site.
I think the point about 150kW is a good one though as it illustrates that our electrical infrastructure continues to severely lag against the uptake of EVs.
i personally SOMEWHAT disagree.
I.e. the exisiting rural bruce highway locations supply 50kw via the DC charger and then 2x 22kw via the schneider.
That means they can essentially supply 94kw....
150kw doesnt actually offer that much for rural australia. yes its quicker, but costs way more for just a little bit of time saving compaed to lets say 80-90kw (i.e. the initial superchargers).
