Chuq, this is an amazing map/information! Would it be possible to show the already operational ones? For example a little green dot for the 50kW and a big green dot for the 350kW ones? Well done and thank you for sharing. Patrick No worries at all - yeah it's reasonably quick for me to set differen...

I like the Tasmanian ones in the ocean :D That's just the amazing Tassie coastline for you :P given the falling cost of powerful onboard chargers, and the poor reliability of stationary DC fast chargers, I suspect by the time there's significant build out, only the "old" cars being made now would u...

What do you get if you combine: RAC WA Electric Highway Queensland Electric Super Highway NRMA Fast Charging Network Chargefox Ultra-rapid 350 kW network Evie Networks ultra-rapid 350 kW network Tasmanian Government ChargeSmart grants ? Along with a smattering of other individual fast charger instal...

Hmm... Not sure how confident I'd be of travelling to a town where I need to charge to get back, and the only charger in town being one of those... As a fellow Leaf owner, I think we (and i-MieV owners) are going to be the only RREV vehicles around. Given neither can charge at more than 3.6 kW, I wo...

When you say very cheap and basic EVSE I think of the EO Mini. Is that the kind of form factor your thinking about?

It’s still over A$900 so not sure what you are finding for $500!

When we got our first EV, most of the work was cleaning out the double garage so we could at least fit one car in it. A couple of months after getting the car we had a dedicated 15A power point installed. We've had the car for 3 1/2 years and only now are we actually planning a dedicated EVSE (in ou...

My only chance is that one of the Tesla destination charger works on a Kona. But I have no idea how to be certain... Basically, you can't be certain. Tesla destination chargers are (to non Tesla owners) a lucky bonus extra that arent officially supported, and can't be 100% relied on until you test ...

Victoria misses out ... again. Rival state tourism opportunities for enticing Vic EV drivers to head interstate though ... :) Cheers Bryce Victoria certainly does look sparse compared to coverage in Qld, NSW and soon Tas! Interesting since it probably has the best combination of population (economy...

Apparently this was being unloaded at Gundagai a couple of days ago - any idea what it is? https://twitter.com/sydney_ev/status/11 ... 61/photo/1

Coincidentally, here is an article that just just popped up on RenewEconomy on a similar theme - https://reneweconomy.com.au/aemo-looks- ... rid-48314/

First Evie Networks station has now broken ground! It's at the McDonalds on the Bruce Highway at the Glass House Mountains. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/evie-networks_electricvehicles-thefutureiselectric-activity-6575505090407464960-VmuP Evie plans to install 42 of these stations across the countr...

Update on this network, seeing as the thread hadn't seen any updates for a while! Chargefox has opened ultrarapid sites in Brisbane (Toombul), Melbourne (Airport West) and Torquay. Yesterday it was found that they have a site under construction at Gundagai - right next to the Tesla supercharger. htt...

May start happening once they move off peak charging times to the middle of the day.

Where I am off-peak rate is the same for both overnight (9pm to 7am) or daytime (10am to 4pm). If I have the choice, I prefer the day as then it uses my excess solar first if there is any.

So having free solar for customers/employees at the employers expense is unlikely to happen. If it concerns you then get as much solar as you can on your house and store the surplus Just to clarify, this concept isn't for the (direct) benefit of employers or for individuals. It's primarily of benef...

The total generating capacity of the grid is unchanged, but the timing of its use is shifted back to when there's an excess.

Exactly it. Storage is one option - but putting the electricity directly into the car at the time it is generated is more efficient!

A few thoughts on the increased evening/overnight grid load with growth of EVs, and a possible way of minimising the impact. Let me know what you think. Initial thoughts: Soon, most people driving EVs will have 200-300km ranges or higher. They will not necessarily need to charge every day. AC destin...

Theoretically, would it be possible to import the 62 kWh Leaf into Australia from Japan (I have seen one or two imported 40 kWh Leafs on carsales) ?

I typically don't put spaces between the number and the unit, but then spell check keeps telling me that I'm wrong, so I go back and add them in

I sometimes talk about the odometer on my car saying things like "It's done 60k km" I guess that is 60 Mm ?

Jugiong (NRMA) is now open as well! Just wait until Chargefox and Evie got the ball rolling and then Mel-Syd will be a breeze in almost any EV!

I'm a complete nerd so I love this post. Especially Claude Litre You learn something new every day!

"Tesla advert for a car that doesn't exist"

What does this have to do with the video? Just a clickbait title?

The map is getting pretty full!



Also I've seen some references suggesting that they are planning 47 sites now... but looking back I can't seem to find where I read it.

Sorry for the late response, I didn't get email alerts of replies! @jonescg I hope I'm better at English than Tony :P And I agree, Plugshare is extremely lax in keeping their plug types up to date. In fact they rarely update the site engine at all. I sent them details about it (the CCS types and oth...

Quick intro: Plugshare is the de facto reference from charging infrastructure in Australia, and serves its purpose well. I recently tried using ABetterRoutePlanner (ABRP) and found that many locations were missing. I looked around their site and found that they have asked Plugshare if they could use...
