"PAYMENT METHOD
Payment for charging your car is made using charging units. You can buy charging units at any time and they cost 10 cents per unit, i.e. $10.00 buys 100 charging units. You must keep your account topped up with units in order to use our service. You can do this manually, or by choosing to allow automatic top ups, which will automatically buy units when your account balance is low. The minimum purchase is 10 units which costs $1.00"
but yes that is a little hidden
Yes, we can.

My wife just got a parking ticket while charging at the RAC west perth charger. The offence being "unauthorised parking"
I'm hoping its a mistake.
Anyone know if there is any restriction on parking there other than charging and paying for the charge?
$55 is an expensive charge.

Don't think there is a time limit.
Ring up the parking company and contest it. Ask them what the issue is....
They have agreed to waive the fine, but it is kind of a stock letter that doesn't actually admit they shouldn't have fined us, and reserves the right to fine us if it happens again. Currently seeking further confirmation from them.
The Charge Star network commenced operating in March 2016, just over two years ago. There have been 5500 charging sessions on the network since then. Total power consumed; 43 MWH. The most kWh consumed in a single session was 86.350 kWh at Bridgetown on 12th June 2017.
Is it correct that only one car can be connected to the big units at a time? I tried to connect two cars, one to AC and one to DC but it wouldn’t activate the second car. Is that an error or intentional?

It should work, or at least it worked in 2016 when we tested an i3 on CCS and a Tesla on AC at the same time
Note that the beacon lights at the top of the charger are both blue (which means AC and DC are charging) and the display shows two charging sessions.

Busselton is not the most practical location for two cars though.

Should this post be moved to “charging infrastructure”
Done.
The original Australia's First Electric Highway topic I'll leave for now, with a link to this one in the first post. When it started, it was still in planning, and seems appropriate to the EV Motoring forum. But I'll listen to arguments.
