Anything under $82.5 does not need a tax invoice to claim GST (a written record of the transaction such as bank statement will suffice). Suggest you check with your provider to see if they'll accept this.

Superchargers in Australia

- Australia Supercharging
I just noticed in the Tesla app that all/most of the Supercharger prices have increased some time in the last day of two. I only spot-checked some of the Sydney-ish ones but basically:
* All the “country” one are now $0.66/kWh (were $0.64/kWh)
* The “city” ones seem to have increased 2-3c/kWh and are now $0.57-0.59/kWh.
* The new Campbelltown and Blaxland Superchargers have become “country” ones now, so are both $0.66/kWh (11c and 12c per kWh increase respectively).
I understand the prices bouncing around a bit, but I am surprised by the sudden change in Blaxland and Campbelltown pricing.

Looks like 'dynamic' pricing is now in place for non-Tesla supercharging too.
Narooma, Bathurst, Dubbo and Hollydene are now
$0.81/kWh without membership
$0.66/kWh with $9.99/mo membership
Tamworth is $0.65/kWh without membership, $0.48/kWh with $9.99/mo membership
Original pricing was $0.79/kWh without membership, $0.66/kWh with the $9.99/mo membership.
$0.02/kWh increase for Narooma, Bathurst, Dubbo and Hollydene, $0.14/kWh decrease for Tamworth (and a bigger $0.18/kWh decrease if you're paying for membership)

The "membership" price for non-Tesla Supercharger is just the Tesla price.
66c/kWh seems to be the "default", but some scattered country ones are cheaper than that - as previously mentioned Tamworth is 48c/kWh, Tenterfield is 63c/kWh, Ovens is 65c/kWh, Shepparton is 58c/kWh, Eaton is 48c/kWh, Margaret River is 55c/kWh, Devonport is 62c/kWh and Gympie is 57c/kWh.
The cheapest in the country now seem to be Camberwell and Maroochydore at 38c/kWh. Bargain! Camberwell I would guess is discounted because it's perenially underused compared to always-busy Richmond, so they probably want to encourage some traffic to choose the former over the latter. Maroochydore I have no idea.

i think this is what they have in the States? demand/time based pricing
I’m waiting for Tesla to apply their Autobidder software to both vehicle and supercharging pricing, matching demand to supply in real time!
A reasonable location to place chargers given its proximity to the motorway interchange and proximity to suburbs with high concentration of high rise apartments

It is some form of electrical works.
This section is near the road.
Two angles of the exposed conduit behind this fence,
Which has had a trench further out towards the road,
Further away around some other parking spaces,
This actually seems too big a structure to be some conduit for EV charging.
Having shown all that, I don't know that this is for the superchargers. If I have a look at street view from 4 months ago,
The entry and exit path here looks very different to what I went through. There are more lanes around to the left and it looks to be being set up for some form of timed/controlled entry and exit. I think that is more likely the reason for the electrical works here. Was dark so did not think to get more wider context shots and did not realise how new entry and exit paths were but in hindsight the concrete kerbs controlling entry and exit did look really new.
So with Exeter now open, we are back to zero Superchargers known to be under construction
(Even the Kiwis have three or four under construction).
Hope we see another construction rush soon.

I just read in ABC that Cassegrain Wines enters administration. I wonder what happens to the SC if the winery closes down

Decades-old winemaker pushed into voluntary administration
A winemaker says he has a heavy heart about his business's latest step after it buckled under the pressure of natural disasters, COVID restrictions and trade tariffs.

Sad - hopefully they can find a way to continue operating the business at a profit.
I would guess that the Supercharger lease goes with the property? Probably only has 3 years left to run though.
(these comments could probably be moved to the Port Macquarie Supercharger thread)
Access to that Supercharger is a bit awkward from the highway. I could see Tesla moving somewhere with easier access and food/drink options that have longer opening hours.
Having said that I have used it a lot and been glad of reliable charging with clean toilets nearby.

The likes of him would still be complaining even if there were 8 SC in Jindabyne in winter. Even a 16 bay would not be enough. And he fits the picture of rich tourists complaining about everything in Jindabyne.
He is sending the wrong message whingeing about waiting, finding a charger, then complaining about petrol level charging prices.
He should realise that other people are paying for the infrastructure and he is at the early stages of EV and EV charging deployment in Australia and he should wait 5 years for the number of chargers to become ubiquitous. Before that, accept the fact that as an early adopter of EV, there will be issues surrounding charging.
Ive got a place in Jindabyne on holiday rental and I have the garage power point put on a switch which is in a locked box and switched off when it is under holiday rental. Specific T&C for the holiday rental disallows using extension cords from inside the house to charge EV.
Eventually I will add an EV charger where I can recoup the cost of the infratructure and energy. Until then.....

Stuff Jindy. There needs to be a slow AC plug at basically every parking space at Bullocks Flat and Thredbo. You're there all day, so use that to your advantage. And turn on heating when you're on the way back to your car.
Ski resorts are perfect for AC. Superchargers and DC are mostly a waste of time and effort, and an undesirable strain on the grid. Save that for midpoints where they're genuinely needed. Like Bredbo. And Hume. And Collector.
7-22kW AC on intermittent ramp up whenever there's spare solar in the grid, and down when it's under stress, helps the grid, instead of taxing it. It should be the default option basically everywhere, with superchargers as a backup.

You can see the state of the parking areas at Bullocks, Thredbo, Perisher. You really think they will upgrade AC power to the parking areas? And if they did, based on the prices they charge for everything else, you think it won't be expensive?
In reality they should have EV powered buses travelling from Jindabyne to Perisher, Bullocks and Thredbo.
