Superchargers in Australia

[Chuq]

And Hay

Yep, although Hay is already coming!

Green markers here are Mildura and the 3 "flow on" locations. Plus Narrandera circled.

I wholeheartedly agree with more DCFC in rural towns. While in the city there may be a congestion issue, there are many places you simply can't even drive to due to the lack of chargers. Further there are places you can drive to, but are high risk due to only having 1 NRMA charger available. Should that not be working you are SOL with next closest chargers being >100km away.

Wholeheartedly agree here.

I was looking at the possibility of hitting Uluru early next year - and I realise charging situation may change in between now and then, but from my analysis on Plugshare, 1 dead charger along the way and you're pretty much toast, unless in my newbishness, I have misunderstood/misread.

BTW my draft proposal for this round's voting block. I don't want to alienate either Qld or WA voters.

I think Mildura is a great result specifically for that reason. Tesla doesn't like to build isolated superchargers. By building Mildura it will mean that they will also build places like Berri, Balranald, and perhaps Wycheproof. Three/four sites for the price of one! We may not even need to nominate/vote for those ones, they'll happen naturally now.

On the other hand, Dubbo has been there for a very long time with no action on the rest of the Newell Hwy.

Dubbo is a destination in itself, it's the 2nd largest town in inland NSW (after Tamworth) and many families in Sydney/Canberra head over just to visit the Zoo. You can't really say the same for any other town on the Newell.

Mildura is nearly as big as Dubbo though (also I think you forgot about Wagga).

 

[Quickst]

Wagga and Tamworth neck and neck in terms of population. Probably Wagga slightly ahead

FWIW Parkes NRMA charger was fixed by NRMA on the 12/1 and has had successful charges over the weekend

Will be awesome to have a more complete/reliable path along the top there from Adelaide to Canberra/Sydney so we dont have to go the bottom way..
Im meant to be in Sydney in August, but i might have to go via Albury..

 

[Quickst]

At least superchargers in AU won't be stopped from charging cars in extreme cold weather such as in Chicago

 

[leonk]

Obviously there was a big push to get sites done for the holidays.
I wonder how long we'll have to wait to see some new sites start to appear in the new year?

I’m a fan of the 737 route 38,000 ft over mildura, especially when I only need to be in sydney for half a day. Car stays at airport for a free charge.

OT but couldn't resist

Screwdrivers Now Permitted On Boeing Flights, To Allow Passengers To Help With Maintenance — The Shovel

 

[GeoQuack]

Richmond closing.

Received this earlier today:

I guess this does answer some of the questions about the frantic build-out in the inner southeast of Melbourne.

In the interests of historical accuracy, I'm adding some of the early/deleted superchargers back into supercharge.info (back in the day, there wasn't a "permanently closed" status, so the entries were deleted).
The developers behind sc.info have helpfully added some code to allow editors to add and back-date these entries correctly, without spamming the "changes" page or causing it to get fed out to social media such as the @superchargefeed account. They should still appears in the changes tab if you scroll back to the dates when the site changes actually occurred.

I've just done this with The Star (Pyrmont) - please let me know if you see any weirdness. You should be able to find it if you enable "permanently closed" superchargers on the map screen. (see black X icon below)

Thanks to unofficial Tesla Australia historian @meloccom for recording some of these opening dates in previous threads!

If this looks OK I'll do the others later on (old sleds at Euroa, Bathurst, etc). I won't post on the individual threads otherwise I'll be bumping a bunch of old ones to the front for no reason, I'll just note it here!

 

[Chuq]

Euroa done:

 

[Chuq]

Old Warrnambool site was showing on the map but wasn't appearing in the change log... have now tweaked that so should appear correctly.

 

[Zoltrix77]

Has there been a suggestion to the team to add locations for “Tesla Coming Soon”? Perhaps a different colour/icon.

 

[Chuq]

Have just added the change history to the Big Banana site (one of the reasons I wanted to get the rest of the info up to date, you never know what site might be brought back to life!)

All of the "permanently closed" sites are now listed. I think this is all of them.
