One of the problems that is not discussed is the relatively safety of SC sites.
They really need to be highly visible including line of sight, in high traffic area. Locations that are in the back of a carpark and out of site are less safe -especially for female drivers
I don't think so.especially female" bit is a little unwarranted.
An interesting commentary about the implementation of DC charging from a major Canadian chain gas station operator. While he is obviously biased wrt repurposing gas stations for EV, he does have a point.I totally agree about this back of no where chargers at 2AM
Yeah, true - I'd be very happy with Cowra too. Just something between Bathurst/Orange (other than the NRMA charger in Young, which I have heard can be a pest sometimes). ABRP says it's possible without a charge (ending up with 5% when I get home) but the car wants to go through Gundagai.NRMA chargers at both Cowra and Young get a lot of checkins. I used Young once last year - it tripped after about 10 minutes and I had to unplug, re-holster, then start again for it to work. Current Plugshare reports indicate that is still happening. I tried to use the one at Cowra once, just because I was driving by and wanted to get my check-in count up (I didn’t actually need to charge), but someone turned up about 2 minutes before I did. And that was lunchtime on a weekday!
425kW chargers, due to open September 11th, weather and contractor availability permitting. They are behind a lockable gate; apparently either the Tesla app will provide the entry code, or one can use the Tesla keycard to open the gate
Curious... probably some miscommunication with the charge speed (did someone read something on the cabinet?) but the gate PIN solution makes sense as they have done elsewhere.Someone posted on Plugshare (15th Aug)
Though the real metric of interest for the grid connection is the power of the cabinets not the max power to the cars. Each V3 cabinet can do 387kW at 480V (US voltage with PF 1) or for Australia 320-335 kW depending on power factor and three phase voltage 400V to 415V. (or in China at 380V around 305kW, presumably why they tend to 3 cars per cabinet instead of the 4 per cabinet in the US.)6 chargers with 2 cabinets looks like V3 chargers so likely 250kW depending on the local grid I’d guess
do pole transformers go to 750kVA
There are 500kVA pole mount transformers.No, my understanding is the pole transformers only go up to 50kVA or was it 63kVA?.
Pad mounted are generally 300, 500, 750, 1000kVA
Shows up OK for me.Not showing up. TMC converting to a media=twitter tag - see @Erik_Levin
I was looking into the trip planner for Adelaide to Sydnet for a M3RWD.What would be the utility of a SC at Wagga?
Wagga is an intermediate stop for people driving to/from Adelaide. However the next big town west of Wagga is Mildura but thats over 500km west.
No SC is planned for Hay
Wagga to Bathurst via Young is 315km
The road south leads to Albury with its SC
the road East leads to Gundagai with its SC
If Wagga is the destination, then a destination charger is the better way to go.
I agree though the more DC infrastructure there is the better, but for now, I dont see the utility
I hope so. I will be passing thru in about 2 weeks. This was the only place that was more challenging.Report on FB that Wagga should be active from Thu 14/9 (chat with electrician)
Let us know how you get onI hope so. I will be passing thru in about 2 weeks. This was the only place that was more challenging.
