This is a 'Superchargers in Australia' thread, so I figured an Australian response would be best suited. ;-) (I don't know if any of the V4 contactless payment terminals are live in the US, to find out what the preauth is in the US)

I think most of the pay@pump stations are gone; they want you to use their app now to pay at the pump instead. Or one could say they want you to go in store and play for expensive chocolates and drinks and snacks... (using apps is probably cheaper/safer than pump mounted payment terminals...

For all the moaning and complaining about the preauth amount Evie (and some other networks) have in place, I wonder what amount Tesla will use in Australia. In the UK, the preauth amount is 20 pounds (currently about ~38AUD) In Germany, it's 25 EUR (~41AUD)...

Surprise site popped up not far from home - I think it's a dual CCS2 site, turned on but fenced off. Hypercharger unit too. 216 Newbridge Rd, Moorebank NSW 2170, Australia Ampol Foodary Moorebank (Coming Soon) | Moorebank, NSW | EV Station Not a great spot, nil facilities or amenities...

Would be nice if they sent this to all Tesla account holders!

Blue Mountains City Council are reporting they are being upgraded. Curious what the upgrade is.... https://www.facebook.com/share/vcR8e8tDaaJntWte/?mibextid=WC7FNe

A bunch of Chargefox stations have been offline for the last day (and counting), they're saying it's due to a Telstra outage https://www.chargefox.com/news/incident-update

The WA EV Network seems to be having some sort of outage this morning, with sites offline in Chargefox

The first Atto 3s were delivered from September 2022 (BYD delivers first customer cars in Australia), and Tesla only started opening up the Supercharger network in January 2023 (Select Tesla Superchargers open for all electric cars in Australia), all of which were V2 units. It wasn't until...

NRMA have a FAQ/writeup on the new roaming setup with Chargefox - mynr.ma/EV-roaming The 10% NRMA member discount at NRMA stations still requires the My NRMA app to be eligible - for now anyway. There's also a bit of tech info behind it;

The Chargefox + NRMA roaming is now officially available for all in the app. https://www.chargefox.com/news/roaming-could-end-ev-charging-app-fatigue Hopefully we see more networks happy to set up roaming so we don't have to suffer with dozens of awful apps and accounts.

Latest update on the BYD Atto 3 & Seals built before the start of this year not working with the V3 and V4 Superchargers, shared on last night's Ludicrous Feed podcast. tl;dr BYD will fix it - it's a hardware issue, and the fix will take about an hour; a replacement resistor and firmware...

Might be worth posting in the Chargefox thread since they're not SA Govt / RAA Charge chargers ;) ChargeFox EV charging Network Or even better - the Engie thread ;) Engie Australian EV charging network Back on topic - the AC charger at Yalata is supposed to be under construction this week...

Yep Vicinity have the strategic partnership with Engie - EV charging for your business | ENGIE It's not an SA Govt site :)

Is it this post? Evie Networks on LinkedIn: We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with the NSW Government to… "Evie is the largest and only fast charging grant recipient. " I assume this is based on speed, rather than being DC (as opposed to AC). If Jolt continue to roll out 25kW DC...
