Supercharger - Yass, NSW

[cafz]

Showing 6 stalls on the app, and 8 stalls on the website map!? Assuming it's a "gradual commissioning"..

8 stalls on the app now too, but with 3 of them out-of-service.

Signage indicating not being opened for non-tesla initially.

Website map now showing 12, app still 8 with one out.

Quick Google maps says it adds 4km / 11 min.

Quick Google maps says it adds 4km / 11 min.

That’s basically nothing - about what the detour to Karuah Chargefox adds if you don’t want to stop at Heatherbrae.

Is the Yass SC part funded by any Govt?

(You can check the Supercharger - Australian Index pinned thread for this kind of thing)

Yes, it was included in the first round of the Drive NSW grants. So we can expect it will be opened up to all vehicles before the date specified in the grant.

A little disappointing these will be general purpose parking for some portion of the bays. Can see one of each type of signs here but no signs yet of the signs that are enforceable.

I thought one of the reasons Yass council proposed this car park was because it was generally underutilised but that was when the proposal was for 6 bays.

Actually the official Tesla photo above shows 6 of the 'Tesla only' style signs, so maybe a 6/6 split?

I'd interpret this as a Tesla reserved bay that can be parked in for up to 60 mins without plugging in.

Yep. Similar signage at some older sites like Cooma where half sites are Tesla only and half similar 60 minutes.

Unlike Cooma, that Yass carpark is pretty underused afaik so unlikely to be an issue.

Hopefully that's how the average ICE vehicle interprets it as. But based on previous sites and council meetings, it is intended for general 1 hour parking.

Yass now showing 12 active on the app with one currently down.

 

[Quickst]

Purple side has signs "Tesla charging"

Yellow side has Tesla 60 min general parking"

6 bays each

Parking site very underutilised

 

[Quickst]

Total power available to site 1.1MW

 

[Max Spaghetti]

Yellow side has Tesla 60 min general parking

I don't understand what that means

 

[Chuq]

I don't understand what that means

I think it's just a Tesla branded sign that says "60 minutes general parking", i.e. any car can park there for up to 60 minutes.

I think it's just a Tesla branded sign that says "60 minutes general parking", i.e. any car can park there for up to 60 minutes.

So - if there is general parking possible for 6 of 12 bays at this supercharger, am I to understand that *technically* the bay availability in the app/in car navigation may be incorrect by as much as 6 bays? That is, if 6 non-charging vehicles are parked, and the other 6 bays are being used by charging vehicles, we could see 6 bays available in the app, but still have a practical queue?

If so, that may not bode well for peak times?
