Depends on the jurisdiction. In WA, SA and Victoria at least the owner of the land can make an agreement with the council to enforce parking restrictions (and the council gets the fines). In NSW there's a similar "Free parking area agreement".Unfortunately I think that is only possible on public roads and council and publicly owned land, and not on private property, which is where the majority of DCFCs probably are. No easy solutions in NSW for people who deliberately flout parking notices on private property:
Well judging by our trip back from Adelaide over the last 2 days, I'm not sure. Tailem Bend (6 x V3) was the only non-queuing supercharger for the whole trip, probably because it was early in the morning.But is it going to be enough before next Christmas?
Actually we probably just need to manage our expectations when traveling in peak periods such as long school holidays, mainly due to crowd and our charging infrastructure is not (yet) adequate.Wandering off for lunch is OK when things are quiet but not in peak periods.
Not rules, just consideration for other travellers. There are enough superchargers on the Hume and Dukes / Western Highways to not require travellers to charge anywhere near 100%.rules
Not every Tesla is a new 3 or Y with great range, what about the S60s or X75s or someone towing ... there's a lot of what if's there.Not rules, just consideration for other travellers.

As for Tesla, they have a number of tools that can manage this.Imposing such "unofficial" rules will just put off people using EV in my opinion.
There has been this unhealthy focus on 350 kW chargers, when that's needed is maybe 1/3 350 kW, and 2/3 50 kW or 75 kW at a site. A 350 kW stall should never have a chademo either when paired with 50 kW stalls. There is a good price signal between 350 kW and 50 kW, 0.60 kWh vs 0.40 kWh for Evie a 33% discount to use the slow chargers! ICE drivers will bend over backwards for an at most 15% discount. There isn't very good signage or direction to the difference when a site has both 350 kW and 50 kW or 75 kW stalls.The one problem that I do see is some of the newer Chinese EV's (like the BYD Atto 3) which are meant to be super popular in the next few years is they have some woeful charging speeds.

No but I asked her to post some if possible - she added "Last year when I was going past, there was definitely a shipping crate and some other heavy looking stuff that had been left onsite with a security fence around it."No photos?
You missed '77 Smith St Kempsey 2440'. Which still has a target date of Q1 2023 on Telsa's map.Plus Yass, Albury and Ballina!
In fact on the Hume+Pacific route, from Wodonga to the Qld border, not counting urban Sydney, there are currently 6+6+8 (south) and 6+6+6+6+4+6 (north) - total of 54 stalls.
The new ones planned are Albury (15)+Gundagai (12)+Yass (12)+Marulan (15)+Raymond Terrace (15)+Taree (12)+Coffs (15)+Ballina (12). So at least 108 stalls - plus whatever is planned for Holbrook (capacity unknown). At least a tripling of capacity. But is it going to be enough before next Christmas?
I'll be staying in Raymond Terrace next Thursday night (12-Jan), I will go and have look!Comment spotted on FB: " I can already see action happening on the new 15 bay supercharger that’s going in near the Lakeside Tavern in Raymond Terrace. "
Just in case anyone happens to be nearby and want to scout it out - link to map location is here: Lakeside Village Tavern, 74 Benjamin Lee Dr
Oops! Did too. I would go one further and guess that each will be a minimum of 12 stalls. But that is just an assumption, based on it being the smallest size of any other new site along these routes.You missed '77 Smith St Kempsey 2440'. Which still has a target date of Q1 2023 on Telsa's map.
I would count Kemsey and Holbrook at a minimum of 6 stalls each. So more like at least 120 stalls along the Hume+Pacific.
That's a good point. Apologies @meloccom - perhaps move/merge all this generic supercharger network discussion into the Superchargers in Australia thread?I don't know if we are slightly out of topic here
