Found via FB - details on the Port Wakefield and Snowtown locations:
Weirdly enough I found this when I was searching for more detail on this announcement, which is also in Port Wakefield but apparently not related to the RAA Charge network at all:

South Australian drivers are being let down by RAA Electric Vehicle Chargers.
The RAA was granted $12.35 million by the State Government to construct an electric vehicle charging network across the state. They proudly claim that their network is crucial for interstate and intrastate connectivity, long distance travel, and tourism. They promise to offer fast, rapid, and...

If you go back to the early posts in this thread (particularly #39) you'll see it was always a combination of Rapid Highway (DC at 50-350kW) and so called Fast Destination (AC at 7 to 22kW) chargers.
Whyalla for example is going to get 2 DC and 4 AC installs. So the pub is just 1/3 of what's due.

I think the use of the term “fast destination” charging is quite misleading, as the vast majority of folk out there will think that means ”fast charging” as in charge for 20-30 mins and be on your way.
I get it that in this context “fast destination” is a relative term and faster than a 10A or 15A socket, but that will be a nuance lost on most.
I suspect some marketing honcho inserted themselves into the media statement and insisted on the word “fast” being used in that context and ignored any complaints that it was inappropriate as coming from stick-in-the-muds who are a handbrake on their marketing brilliance.

Reality for off grid towns hosting chargers:
Doubts raised over capacity for fast-charging stations in remote South Australian town

Not sure that I would want to sit around in Yunta for 10-12 hours. Not exactly a destination or anything near decent accomodation
I reckon the cost of that would triple the capital value of real estate in Yunta…ie it would be worth twice as much as all other properties in the town combined

Both the RAA and Rocland Charger sites are up and running in Nurioopta(Barossa)
RAA is 2xCCS
Rocland is 10xCCS
Both on the Chargefox network with different operators, Engie(maybe on behalf of someone) and RAA.
Also already some pricing 'wars' though the final Rocland pricing is more what was expected with a $0.40 p/kwh rate in solar peak.
Rocland currently
For 8 120kW stalls and strangely
For the other 2 75kW stalls. This may still be in error.
This compares to RAA currently at,
Rocland originally opened with only the 2x75kW stalls open and 90c most of the day, 7am - 9pm and 60c outsidr. This has already changed and I guess is expected as part of the funding was around gauging price vs demand. Not sure the rational for 2 stalls to be different, maybe to reduce max demand of site?
If you are looking for an absolute bargain EV DC fast charge check out the SA Port Adelaide site,
(Also the Rocland site here is possibly the petrol station site mentioned by the Gawler Councilor as up the road in the Gawler Supercharger denial.)

RAA media release today says their 150kw site goes live today at the Barossa Central shopping centre - though seems they're a few days late

Now not only ICE car fueling options have neon^H^H^H^H LED lights.
Not visible from highway though.
(Roclands Nurioopta. Prices now all consistent across stalls).

Also, not sure if this document has been posted here yet - https://www.raa.com.au/-/media/Proj...s/raa-charge-locations-current-and-future.pdf
A few previously unannounced places, including Streaky Bay

Pimba and Coober Peda get rapid DC chargers but Glendambo gets an AC 7kw charge point. The RAA need to look at every way to get a 50kw DC charger in at Glendambo or drivers will be hypermiling, that’s not a safe driving method on a major transport route.
