gee wonder where that pic is showing hmmmm
I'm not from Brisbane, so for any non local it's simply a picture of their product with a backdrop and the location is unknown as there is nothing in the picture or a caption to indicate where it is.

Definitely sounds like the best way to find out what the plans are. Are Tritium setting up their own charging network or are they selling the product to a third party network? I would assume the later given the information on their website.

I agree with you to a point but I think you're reading into the intent of the picture on the website. If they're making a claim to have units installed and operational and name the location(s) but there's actually nothing installed, then yes it's misleading and questionable conduct.
It's interesting that you mention ATMs, as I work in this industry for an independent deployer. ATM manufacturers use pictures like this all the time in their brochures and on their websites to shown their products. Most times they are not installed at the locations the pictures show - they are simply an indication of how one could look installed and often they are designed to show different options for installations.
I would also argue that the manufacturer is not responsible for the location or placement of their product, as the units are generally sold to third party networks and, even though considered fixed infrastructure, they will be moved from time to time.
I think the more important questions here for the locals in Brisbane are;
- Who is actually setting up the network that offgridQLD is asking about?
- And when is it likely to happen?
