Victoria Destination Charging Across Victoria Program

Report on Plugshare by an EQC driver that Bairnsdale Nicolson St (Chargefox) is now working, but not yet showing up on Chargefox app.

Same driver reports Orbost and Cann River as still not working.

 

[WoodWombat]

They were free and apparently they stopped working later on in the day. Probably need some final provisioning to end up on the app.

Cann River Council charger now showing up on Chargefox, $0.40/kWh.
No checkins on Plugshare yet.

In the Benalla Council discussion about the supercharger, a question was asked about other discussions underway, and the reply mentioned that Evie was looking at installing 2 chargers in the Denny St car park.

Meeting:

Location: 36°33'01.6"S 145°59'03.0"E · Benalla VIC 3672, Australia

Evie's DCAV funding was for 55 sites in 55 locations, so curious as to how/why they're installing two units here. (Their 350 kW network has locations in Seymour and Albury with none in between)

If anyone hasn't noticed, DCAV site now has an interactive map with progress details. Wish I could filter out the slow A/C chargers though.

So many sites there with estimated completion date of 31/7/2023. I wonder how realistic that is.

I dunno but Evie are sounding pretty desperate,
"To meet the project obligations and requirements Evie must deploy and commission all infrastructure
prior to the 31st of July 2023. To be successful in meeting these project obligations this means we must
have the site into construction by early June at the latest. Generally construction is taking our build
partners 5-10 days with minimal impact caused to the local area. Once the site is built we can schedule
a truck appointment with the power authorities to energise the site, this is taking anywhere from 4-8
weeks from construction completion. It is critical that this site is delivered within these timelines to
meet our project obligations due to the large capital investment to deploy Electric Vehicle Charging
infrastructure ahead of the electric vehicle demand curve."
This is for Port Fairy where they still need lease signoff from council.

Theres some on the map that are done or close to it that haven't been updated yet but appeared on plugshare.
Hamilton, Traralgon, Lakes Entrance, Camperdown, Meredith, Paynesville, etc

edit: Add Benalla, Bright and Nagambie to that list.

The Warrnambool charging was supposed to be open in April but no signs of install yet.

As @leonk pointed out, best to get the charger address from DCAV site & search the address on plugshare. People have been posting updates via checkins. If there is no entry on plugshare, it probably means nothing physical has been done yet

 

[leonk]

My guess is there’s a few more underway that people just haven’t seen yet.
A lot of the PlugShare updates are very recent so Evie is working fast at the moment.

Creswick Visitors Information Centre charger has been open since June 19th, not updated on DCAV site - several non-Tesla checkins on Plugshare

 

[moa999]

Not sure if you've come across this guy @Chuq but stating that Vic DCAV build now at 30%.

Just checked and looks like the bass coast ones not to March 2024. So much for June 23.

Fast charging coming to Newhaven and Inverloch …but not quickly! - South Gippsland Sentinel Times

CARPARK works are in progress at the Visitor Information Centre in Newhaven, as the local shire rolls out four new faster charging stations at four locations around the district. But it doesn’t come cheap, as revealed in a question by Kerry...

Luckily Apollo Bay was a Supercharger voting winner.
