Yesterday I happened to be in Marrickville at the Addison Road Centre and noticed a free Everty charger there. So I thought I’d give it a try, just for the heck of it.
There are two AC units and a solar canopy, right next to an Egyptian street food truck, so a good setup. I had to download the App of course, and it’s BYO cable, but it worked fine.
What was rather confounding is it charges at 1.4 kW. No I am not making that up. 6 Amps single phase is all you get, or a whopping 8 km of range per hour.
I wasn’t there for long, and when I got back to my car, opened the door, and the AC came on, it used up all the power that had just been put into the car. 0 km added.
Is this Australia’s slowest public charger?
