Supercharger - Broadway (Glebe) NSW

Gosh, call me an a**hole but don't question my car spotting ability.
Life long car enthusiast - car spotter, definitely can tell the difference between a Model S or X and a Levante.
That's my Model S to the left of the 2 Hyundais' ICEing the charge bays.

I suspect meloccom knows his own car, especially when it is his profile picture and not many brown S85 in AUS

Then I’m darned if I can see the entitled Maserati ...

I was replying to @lennier who mentioned the Maserati. All I could see was a lovely Maserati-esqe Model S and a couple of Korean Audis.

I would hope that with the cost of a supercharger there'll be a proper effort to prevent ICEing.

Let’s hope so. But I thought Tesla leases the spaces and pays for the superchargers, so the shopping centre probably has no motivation to enforce anything?

 

[lennier]

LOL, you're not referring to the Model S by any chance? I admit there is a slight resemblance.

No, the Levante driver Not much resemblance there!

Ah, seems you missed that lennier was referring to meloccom mentioning the Maserati

... came back to a lady in a black Maserati Levante waiting for me to leave.

There are also Destination chargers here, mostly ICE'd but I managed to find a spot and plug in and they are 3 phase 32Amp giving 22Kw

In some cases, this will be more suitable than the superchargers. Being a shopping centre, you'll barely be in the door before the idle fees kick in.

I told her this was an EV spot and she gave me a look and proceeded to park in a disabled spot.

All the more reason for the recognised 'no parking' signs on EV spaces.

Shouldn't that sign read

"Exempted While Charging"

Potato tomato ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Visited the installation today, the stalls are there, I also spoke to a guy doing the install who said he expects it to be live mid next week.

This is a real convenience for CBD Tesla owners in apartments with difficult building management. Its a good thing the car park is 24 hrs too. A lot of other shopping center's i.e. Westfield closes at 12 or 1am.

I presume entry for cleaners, service workers, bakers and now Supercharger users. This site is better than St Leonards due to access to amenities and refreshments after hours. I believe the Off Broadway bar opens till 3am.

Iirc the oportos on broadway is open till midnight and thr pub on the corner of broadway and city road is open till 1. Although been a few years since I was down that way

Rang the number quoted and Sammy tells me that the main parking entrance and exits remain open for 24 hours its just the centre access that is closed at this time, so you will still be able to come in from Bay street and loop around down to B2 to charge, then exit through the adjacent exits on B2.

All 8 stalls are now installed and powered but still fenced off. Expected to open within days!

If the lights are on, doesn’t that mean they are working?

It feels weird that a lot of Superchargers are found within preexisting charging locations.

Workers painting parking bays this morning. Fencing still up. Looks like they should be finished today.

Epic! Lets hope the paint dries and it all gets signed off this afternoon? Might open Monday to let the paint dry.

Paint is on!
