Mt Gambier will have more super fast charging than Adelaide at this rate haha.
I agree, Keith or surrounding areas could do with some more dcfc for the Victoria bound or originating traffic. Ohh well, something is better than nothing

Yes, and there is certainly an interesting story behind this one….
You might see more appearing around libraries too.

It's not an SA Govt site
Awesome, so happy the tides are changing and more EV charging is coming to the south. Can only be a good thing for EV owners and local businesses.Yep Vicinity have the strategic partnership with Engie - EV charging for your business | ENGIE

Dropped into colonaids tonight and found all chargers working.
Got harassed by a group of teenagers, some impressed, others “wouldn’t spit on a Tesla unless I put a big donk under the bonnet” etc. Also got asked colourful questions like “how does it sound when it revs” and “can I watch Netflix?”
Ended up with a strange short guy staring at me holding his phone, I think he was recording, not sure. Anyway…
Chargers are excellent, I already had a high soc but don’t doubt these would crank.
The 22kw charger didn’t charge me $, but I wasn’t there very long.
The big charger ramped up fast soon after these pics.

It's great to see a Chargemate operating faster than 7kW....
32A -> 11kW. Isn't it normally 3 phase 16A that gets you 11kW on a Tesla.
Ohh and all chargers use the chargefox rfid card or the app to start/stop.
I was able to stop the charge via the Tesla app for the 2 faster chargers, but the BYzo cable type 2 could be started via rfid but needed to stop via the chargefox app.
Not sure if that’s normal.
I kinda didn’t want to hang around so it might have just been me.

Yeah I thought I was tripping out more than the kids that were hassling me. I thought 32a single phase is 7kw, not sure why it said 11kw
It would be awesome to see some chargers at Southgate Plaza and Hallett Cove shops.
Then, as we catch up to the eastern states, chargers at the beach car parks at Christie’s, Port Noarlunga and then Council Libraries at Aberfoyle park (The Hub), Woodcroft, Seaford, Aldinga and maybe Willunga. All have large solar systems and access to decent power.
The Colonaids setup is quite good. Not sure I’d want to be there at night for too long but at least it is well lit and away from the pubs.

It could be but I’m pretty sure that value on the left started at 0 and climbed to 32 as it sat around 21-22 for a bit then kept going.
I’ll try and get back there in the next few days if it’s of interest.
Might be worth posting in the Chargefox thread since they're not SA Govt / RAA Charge chargers
ChargeFox EV charging NetworkOr even better - the Engie thread
Engie Australian EV charging networkBack on topic - the AC charger at Yalata is supposed to be under construction this week.
Yalata Roadhouse and Caravan Park (Coming Soon) | Yalata, SA | EV Station
Then the Border Village, and I think RAA were putting in one at Nullarbor to? Bit sad they're only AC, but a good backup to the DC options on other networks at least
