Superchargers in Australia

[moa999]

Agreed. We already new the rough area from the Coming Soon pin (and in some cases the actual address from council docs, or the pin being in the correct place)
But there's no additional benefit to Tesla from it

Still no Melb CBD..

Richmond is horrible..

Port Melb, Docklands, SouthBank near all the freeways would be the best

And it’s also a garbage location. I know it must be difficult to find locations, but these locations just are not it.

If the fuel stations start throwing in a few charges at their bigger cafe/food sites, I’m not sure why you would bother with a location like this.

I’m still a big believer that if you cannot charge you vehicle at home, there is no point buying an EV. The few times you need to charge away from home, you want a decent location 24/7 with facilities because it’s probably a case of some emergency has popped up.

Disagree. Mornington is fine. Has heaps of parking will never be iced out, there's a cafe and other shops , supermarket etc. There's even a Super Cheap so you can romanticise on how things use to be before your EV. Something at the BP's on Peninsula link would be good too.

You would think Tesla could make a deal with Costco to put one in the docklands car park.

Would anyone know if there are any good superchargers near mt druitt?

No Superchargers. There are other chargers out there Western Sydney University - Kingswood Campus | PlugShare

Thanks Scully, trying to figure out how I'm going to even charge my M3 when it arrives LOL

Check out plugshare PlugShare - EV Charging Station Map - Find a place to charge if you can't charge at home. There are very fast ones at Seven Hills and Jamisontown

Thanks this is super helpful!

Seems a little weird to have two in Hobart, but if Canberra, with population 350k can have two 6-stalls, it's not entirely unreasonable for Hobart, population 240k to have two 3-stalls (for example).

Canberra is on the Sydney-Snowfields route though.

Evie Seven Hills which just has a Hungry Jacks.

It also has a Guzman y Gomez (way better than HJ, in my opinion).

Canberra is on the Sydney-Snowfields route though.

Tuggeranong is a bit of a detour, 20 minute round trip from the highway, Canberra airport is 10 minute round trip. But if the charger utilisation is high at Canberra Airport, you only get 60 kW. That is, using napkin maths, 30 minutes to charge 30 kWh at Canberra Airport, vs a v3 supercharger for 21 minutes at high utilisation (sharing with 2 cars), or 14 minutes at moderate utilisation (sharing with 1 car).

As for local Canberrans, they won't cross lake Burley Griffin, so best think of Canberra as two cities either side of the lake.

I am from SA and used the Tesla Mornington supercharger. Great in that it's at the far end of the car park to prevent being ICEd. Sure the coffee shop is only open certain hours. We took a quick walk around the rose gardens to stretch our legs.

Canberra airport is 10 minute round trip.

Google says a 7 minute detour (using the exit onto Majura Rd near the AFP complex).

Starlink is now installed atop the Colac VIC Supercharger. It wasn't there a week ago. I didn't have a chance to see if the car would connect to the Starlink wifi. Anyone else had a play with this? Apparently, the car should automatically connect.

Devonport has the same (haven't tested - pic was sent to me by someone else):

Would be interesting to try http://dishy.starlink.com/ on the car's browser. That might give Starlink stats.

On Cann River, new post on Plugshare
"Council has advised the build will be completed on Monday 17th October and then another month or so for activation."
(Not totally clear I'd this refers to both the DCAV and Tesla or just DCAV)

No new photos.

 

[moa999]

And another Plugshare Cann River post. Again no new photo
"Needs installation of control equipment and charging units. Rumour has it commissioning in November"

I've just added 24 new permit sites to supercharge.info, referring to the NSW Govt funded sites: NSW EV charging master plan

Being government funded it's likely (probably a required condition of the funding) that these ones will be open to all EVs that use CCS2.

Curious observation - nothing at Holbrook and Kempsey. Possibly the only Tesla planned sites to get nothing. Both pretty central on their respective inter-capital city routes.
