Also I believe a few European countries are already 100% converted so Au and NZ will probably be like these. A lot harder to upgrade places with 10+ stalls and some of these it may make sense to add supercharger 3 stalls for model 3.

Hey @Chuq
Do I have a reason to be questioning the reason 3 new Aus/NZ Superchargers have just been added on PlugShare even though they’ve been active for a few years? They include:

- more to come (maybe)

I can assist here. Tesla accidentally removed the supercharger pin for the Sydney and Melbourne superchargers about 2 weeks ago and they recently fixed the error and put them back on their map.
Does PlugShare scrape the Tesla website and auto-update?

Possibly the same happened in Auckland (although the pin position has altered slightly - no site pictures so difficult to confirm accuracy).

And Eastern. Great to have the Narooma SC but mot much point without options further south

I don't want to pre-emptively create a new thread for nothing but I noticed the following comment on Plugshare:
Six sounds like it may be superchargers. Can anyone in the area confirm or deny?

Makes sense. Chargepoint utterly neglected EV charging in Australia, to the extent that all the chargers at this location failed as well as the one at Swinburne Uni constantly failing. So wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla superchargers are going there - it will be properly supportedOops... it pasted a link, not the image. Take 2:

Moved discussion from another thread here:
My personal expectation/prediction/guess is that the first V3 sites in Australia will be "fill-in" locations between Melbourne and Sydney, then Sydney to Brisbane.
I'm guessing Wangaratta and Yass for the first two. These towns are each spaced in between existing SCs; and they are ~250-270 km from Melbourne and Sydney respectively - i.e. far enough that most Model 3 would be in the "low SOC/fast charging" sweet spot upon arriving.

First official mention of V3 superchargers in Australia, although not really any new information. Just that yes they're coming, in 2020.
How long does it take to charge a Tesla in Australia? V3 Superchargers add 120km in five minutes
