Would like to confirm other details - can anyone get past the paywall?

Foundations for at least six Tesla "Superchargers" have been laid at the Village car park off Summer Street.
The plugs will be compatible with all vehicle types, and capable of providing about 300 kilometres of range in 15 minutes.
Tesla Model 3 owner Granton Smith believes the installation will attract more people to Orange.
"I think it's fantastic to see," he told the Central Western Daily this week.
"It's gonna be great for all the businesses around there because people are going to stop there from far and wide when they're traveling through."

It's unclear when the chargers will open. Four of the six are now standing.
"There's a bit of a bit of a competition among local owners to be the first one to plug in and use it so we'll certainly be checking every day," Mr Smith said.

More than 300 electric cars are registered in the Orange LGA, according to government data.
"In Cabonne Shire it's in the dozens ... Orange is really leading the way," Mr Smith said.

Stalls placed to reach both sides of vehicles.

Some more photos here. No cabinets yet.
Looks like a flat like of six at standard spacing.

Possibly could mark a wide space at the far stall.

More photos from keenonEV from Orange.
Interesting that there are three V4 units on the truck.. so maybe it might actually be seven ??

And comment that outage at substation is already planned.

It's a little odd that the new units aren't in boxes on the trailer.

V4 charges are packaged and transported in packs of 4. So the other two are extras that will be used elsewhere or just brought back to the installers depot to be reallocated. I know I guy who installs them.

In that case, I think I know who Tesla has subcontracted to sell the V4 chargers:

Interested in the actual wording in the associated parking signs

Interested in the actual wording in the associated parking signs

The exact text isn’t readable but they have the QR code in the middle, so I would expect it’s the same as what has appeared at the other open-to-all-EV locations.

Are there any "No parking EV charging excepted" signs?

It would be the first Tesla site in Australia to do so, I believe - if it did have the standard signage!

The signage at Bathurst would comply with the new increased fine amounts even though the signage predates the specific legislation for the increase amounts/penalty units.

It would be the first Tesla site in Australia to do so

And until they do, ICEing will remain legal IMO for these spots.

Another image from Plugshare earlier today, bays painted the red sign seems say "electric vehicle charging only"

Tesla crew onsite and word on the street opening by the weekend.

electric vehicle charging only

By themselves would those signs be legally enforceable?. But the no parking...ev excepted " will be

Did a quick drive-by on my way out to Parkes today and @ around 5pm there were just some witches hats and a Tesla Model Y service vehicle on site.

Shouldn't be long now...
