Supercharger - Broadway (Glebe) NSW
- Thread starter Chuq
- Start date
I'd guessed the answer was Yes, but Fortitude Valley in Brisbane tops it at 87c/kWh
If you include Non-Tesla pricing, the majority of Superchargers (eg Campbelltown, NSW) are 85c/kWh at all times.
The quid pro quo being that Broadway is also Australia's (equal) cheapest Supercharger, with $0.40 between 12am and 4am.

I have to admit, I'm usually at Broadway around 9am (not every day), and at that time, it's still $0.56/kW.
I consider that to be pretty good pricing, to be honest!

Broadway has had an 18+ hr outage due to power issues that have also impacted much of the shipping centre.

Was eerie under there - rocked up, and there were a couple of cars plugged in. Then all the lights went out... had my brekky as usualy, and hit the road again. Charged up at Macquarie Supercharger on the way back home - which was obviously getting slammed, but was coping at around 1pm with only a couple minutes queue.
Anyone know why the foofer-valve at Broadway went splat yet?

No idea. I got there within a few minutes of 9am and it was like the proverbial Dodo... dead.
I'd never seen a dead supercharger before, and given their normal reliability, I reckon it was a special sight
Given that lighting was also affected, and they had the car park boomgates on permanent-open position, I am suspecting this was grid/substation related, as it was not just the supercharger offline. Lifts up to the shopping centre were also briefly out whilst I was there.According to the app, the site is still offline @ 5pm today.
They were also down for >48 hours back in February - Supercharger - Broadway (Glebe) NSW - sounds like Broadway has some work to do for reliability.
App still showing all 8 stalls out of order. So yeah, no better than 98.5% uptime for the year with every extra day out taking 0.3% off.
Are the AC chargers out too? Or are they OK?
Does anyone know what the problem is?

A PSA for anyone not familiar with the Broadway supercharger and the adjacent AC chargers, especially with folsk maybe starting to travel for Christmas and/or shopping and unfamiliar with this location.
If you are thinking to use the AC chargers as a "replacement" for the non-working Supercharger, the word is "Don't". Those AC chargers were already stupidly busy even with the supercharger in action - they will be pretty much unavailable to anyone hoping or planning to use them. Please find alternate charging elsewhere instead (Forest Lodge, Eveleigh, Macquarie Park even).

Translation: Buy a lottery ticket. You’ll get better odds.
Was a post on FB that some of the centre is still being powered by generators so no chance of supercharging, with some significant works in the area required.
But all speculation, who knows the truth.
Another centre outage at Broadway today, so the superchargers mightn't be up anytime soon.
