Wow! That's way better than Tesla's own Supercharger coverage eh.
That depends on how you define "better" - Tesla's Melbourne-Sydney route goes 900km but has superchargers spaced every 160-200km - and they have multiple fast chargers per site
The RAC Electric Highway has 9 sites (plus one partially working and two pending) covering a max distance (Perth to Augusta) of ~340km but has to cater for EVs with 80km range
It also has to cater for all possible EV charging standards (J1772, Mennekes, CHAdeMO, Combo/CCS plus a 15A socket for converted EVs etc) whereas Tesla only needs to cater for their own vehicles.
It's still free right now, some of the councils may choose to recover their costs in the new year.
I assume you have to provide all your own cables to use these chargers right?
Teslas can charge without any cables or adapters using the "Fast AC" cable (the white plug that can be seen on the front of the station in my above photo) - this plugs directly into our cars and provides up to 63A 3phase. Our cars can charge at either 16A or 32A (~12kW or ~24kW) if you have single or dual chargers on your car.
If you have a CHAdeMO adapter you can DC charge at up to 120A - actual power depends on battery voltage and typically starts at around 42kW when the battery is nearly empty and peaks at ~47kW at 75-80% (when tapering starts)
The fast charge stations can provide AC and DC charging at the same time, so even if another EV is using the CHAdeMO or Combo plug you can grab a reasonably fast charge on the 3phase AC
The smaller bollard on the right-hand side of the photo has a J1772 charger, with
one of Timpoo's adapters you can charge there at up to 8kW (32A single phase)
Plus if you're desperate you can use the Tesla supplied Mobile Connector to charge at 2.4kW on the GPO :tongue:
Here's a photo of 4 Teslas charging at the same time (at various speeds) in Margaret River in June:
