I think I read it elsewhere but that may have been copying an assumption made by someone else. The Driven article (above) only mentions 50 kW and 75 kW :-/Has it been confirmed each site to have 4x75kw (presumably 2x Chademo + 2x CCS2)?

This map labels a dot in the ACT as Griffith. I suppose it could be the suburb of Griffith!And a better map.. even if it's a bit JPG-ey.
They're calling it Deloraine on the names list.The example I'm most familiar with - the Tassie sites. Two new sites planned - one clearly labelled as Ross, one unlabelled, but somewhere in the north-west between Latrobe and Elizabeth Town.
In WA, it all but replicates the Western Australian State Government's WA EV NetworkAnd a quality version of the map.
Of course still doesn't explain how this does/doesn't crossover with the various state efforts.

I saw a lot of new names on the list, so while it replicates the route it appears to have many interspersed locations.In WA, it all but replicates the Western Australian State Government's WA EV Network
Also Bowen's map has the WA border in the wrong spot, which makes me wonder if I should waste any more time on it
I've observed before that the best contribution that governments can make here is probably to take the lead on the power network side of the equation.While this is a great initiative, there will be significant power challenges for many of the proposed remote area sites.
For example in South Australia, Border Village, Coober Pedy, Glendambo, Marla, and Yunta are all outside the SAPN network (i.e. not on the main grid) and instead have local grids typically powered by diesel generators which may not easily support even one 75 kW charger let alone more than one (for future needs).
It would have been nice if the Federal Government/NRMA put some stations along the Great Northern Highway route (via Meekatharra), as not everyone wants to drive their EV via the coast...I saw a lot of new names on the list, so while it replicates the route it appears to have many interspersed locations.
Full technical details – including the charging speed of the network – have not been released.
The NRMA will be using purpose built charger models for various public charging locations depending upon environmental conditions, location and power availability, sourcing chargers from manufacturers including Tritium, Kempower and ABB.
A spokesman for the organisation said plug power for the public charging locations “will initially range from 75kW to around 300kW”.
The biggest issue was caused by a local charging a Classic Ioniq up to 100%… They'd left a sign on the car saying something along the lines of we are charging to full call us when it's finished. I called them to try and tell them there was a queue of cars and they didn't answer, eventually someone else called at about 95% SOC, they didn't answer them either but mins later emerged and hot footed it out of there. They clearly knew the inconvenience they were causing and given the state of their creased sign I'm guessing it's well used.
