It'll be a tight finish between NSW and Victoria as to which state ends the year with the most Supercharger sites - a dead heat looking quite possible!

Another eastern suburbs supercharger! This is getting a bit ridiculous.

Moonee Ponds literally holding up 1/3rd of the city.

I created the plugshare post. I was just going to post here but was checking that it wasn't there already.

You'd think there was a wall stopping people crossing to the other side.

You must have posted it just as I was doing my daily what's new on Plugshare check!

I am surprised to see this site given Camberwell, Richmond and South Yarra are so close. I guess the other sites have issues though -
Camberwell, not open 24 hrs
South Yarra, paid parking $15 minimum after hours
Richmond, always busy and apparently can't be expanded

This site is open 24 hours, parking is free and it's the closest to the Monash. The carpark is easier than many to navigate and there's (at least physical) room to add more stalls if required. It will be great to have there if ever caught low on charge before getting on the freeway.

Close to the Monash a plus
Although as others have said, The last time I looked there was Tesla's North and West of the City.
Seems they aiming for apartment dwellers in $$$ areas

Its usually called local council

My wife took the photo yesterday for me. I've just been to have a look myself. There's actually going to be 12 stalls looking at the conduit that's installed at this stage. There appears to be 4 cabinets but I couldn't get close to check them all as they are hard at work on Saturday. I've updated plugshare.

How do you not know there is just not a massive amount of Tesla owners in those locations, and those with no at home charging, eg apartments.

Because the local council of Wyndham has the most Teslas in the state of Victoria.

And all of those areas consist mostly of single dwelling homes with off street parking. Also large geographical area that hasn't been factored in on the inner east map, eg, combine all the inner east over same area, and you will have many more.

These maps are generally misleading.
The more important metric is the number of Tesla/number of dwellings.

 

[Davemcd]

I understand the need for those without off street parking.

Although apart from Moone Ponds nothing from Euroa, Ballarat, Bendigo or even Geelong coming in unless you cross the city

Exactly. And when leaving (even more so).

You drive to Melbourne, stay in a hotel (most likely with zero charging capability), and then need to top up (maybe over breakfast) before heading back out via Euroa, Ballarat, Bendigo or Geelong. It's not just about apartment dwellers.

Last time I did that heading back up the Hume, I stopped at Moonee Ponds - it didn't seem too far off the route, although the navigation took me out of Melbourne via Pasco Vale Rd rather than the CityLink and the ring road for some reason - traffic, I guess.

Exactly. South Yarra and Richmond are apartment central compared to Wyndham, I think @Zoltrix77 has nailed it.

The paid parking situation at the South Yarra location is a massive own goal from Tesla, but I didn't realise it was that high @GeoQuack !!! Since it's opened I've driven in the area (various times of day) and have see the South Yarra location always showing 6 available, and a queue at the Richmond location. But I don't really know what Tesla can do about it, they just chose a poor implementation for the South Yarra super charger!

The South East locations seem to be doing well, I always see bays in use at the Brighton and St Kilda locations, although Richmond is by far the busiest.

In the middle of the day Mon-Fri though the South Yarra parking fee is only $3. And it's 8c/kWh cheaper than Richmond, so for a full charge it's actually cheaper and it will be a quicker charge.

The breakeven point seems to be right on 50% charge for an LR.
