Superchargers in Australia

[leonk]

Clearly something has changed at the Tesla Australia charging team!

But the one constant we can all be assured of:
They will continue to ignore the North and West suburbs of Melbourne and we'll continue to see posts pointing it out.

I'm excited to see 6 Tesla chargers being installed at Kilmore Village Shopping Centre, just North of Melbourne. Three will be ready tomorrow apparently. I'm not sure how often I will need to use...

Lol I was just beaten

 

[whoistheg]

Maybe 4 stalls

I thought that but why have 2 cabinets for 4 chargers?

I was also trying to follow the fresh asphalt to see how many

Lots of juicy government money?!

Maybe 4 stalls

There's at least 5 parking spaces marked out with 'TESLA'.

Hadn't even seen this thread! Created a new thread after seeing the FB posts: Supercharger - Kilmore, Vic

The one thing that is constant is that people from all parts of the country will think that Tesla has personally selected them, focusing on where they drive, and are ignoring their region specifically. Pretty much everywhere in the country, regional or capital, is the worst served part of the country, if you ask the right people!

Yeah, that joke backfired quickly…. It’s not my day

 

[Midnight Man]

They've been going great guns lately... one wonders if a boatload of chargers were sent here by mistake, and someone local said "Let's use 'em!"

Speaking of Tesla ignoring certain areas (even in jest)… it seems very odd to me that Australia’s 6th biggest city has exactly zero Superchargers. And no, Heatherbrae is not part of Newcastle.

Please explain…

I totally agree with this. Also, what about the Hunter Valley? Teslas everywhere and limited charging

See the Wiki.
Funding for one in Jesmond via NSW Govt grants.

Other than the Hollydene charger, which is literally at a winery. Albeit one on the Western edge of the valley.
Also lots of Wall chargers at the Hunter Valley wineries.

Hollydene is too far away and quite a few of the destination chargers either don't work, hidden away or already have cars charging. Really needs to be some fast chargers in Cessnock (and not the 50kW NRMA)

Just wait until the governments big clean energy announcement next year as they seek to compete with the USA.

Teslas everywhere and limited charging

I'm not sure the criticism is valid. Tesla is installing DC fast chargers unlike the other EV manufacturers

Tesla is installing DC fast chargers just like the other DCFC network operators.
