Evie EV charging networks

Still can't add the second car to the new app. Thought it might be handy for it to filter on whichever one you are using at the time. Have an M3 & a Leaf. Might be inconvenient on the east coast but not a real problem up here though. Once we leave town neither car can reach the next fast charger.

What are the chances of 4 red Tesla's together

According to NSW RMS stats, as at 30 June 2023, 8.16% of Teslas registered in NSW are red. So if Teslas turning up at a single location is an entirely random process, the odds of all 4 Teslas in a location being red is 0.0044%, or 1 chance in 22,498 . Rare!

The chance of @unharmed (or me) seeing it though is 0.05%, or 1 in 1,840 since we are always driving a red one so that one is guaranteed (for either of us)

That would be conditional probability .

It’s like the old aircraft hijack riddle… the odds of 1 bomb being on a plane is tiny, so if I bring my own bomb, then I’m safe, because what are the odds of 2 bombs being on the plane!!

The Evie site at BP Kingston (ACT) is finally open, after waiting on the distributor for some time.

It's already faulty.

Colour me stunned

 

[SPadival]

Evie is at least setting a relatively scorching pace in comparison to others

Both seem to be operating now. It's been getting considerable use already judging by the Plugshare entries. Commissioning issue I guess?

Happy Eater!

Seems one Evie site is not enough for Batemans Bay.

Currently this photo is under the plugshare listing nominally created for the Tesla Supercharger site due in the same location but given plugshare's site renaming policy not surprising the photo coming up here as the site name is now generic.

Charging towards a cleaner future

Wodonga is set to gain an Electric Vehicle (EV) fast charger, with plans to transform two existing parks in the Acacia Car Park into EV fast charging stations. EV fast chargers are popping up around the region, a push driven by Australia’s largest ultrafast charging network, Evie Networks...

www.wodonga.vic.gov.au

A media release from Wodonga Council regarding an Evie site in their city.

However not a lot of detail ... Evie still has both a 2x 350 kW site due in the Albury region (from their original ultra-rapid network), and a 1x 50 kW site due in Wodonga (from the DCAV grants). "Two spaces" could technically be either.

If it's a 1x 50 (or 75) kW then the site will effectively maintain existing capacity in the region, given NRMA just pulled their 1x 50 kW out of Albury.

Now that the council see there is high demand for fast charging, I wonder if they're going to remove the "general parking" allowance from the supercharger stalls?

This location matches the DCAV grant location,

So would assume this is that 50 kW site.

Unless they're allowed to put both sets of funding towards the same site?

 

[Chuq]

Not impossible... Evie's Campbell Town (Tas) site received funding from three grant programs (the national ultra-rapid network, the state government's ChargeSmart grants, and a TasNetworks rebate on grid connections for fast chargers). It still cost them well over $500k to build though!

So what is the version of the new Evie Charging App? I Installed the new app more than a week ago, looked good, everything came across, so uninstalled the old version.
Just recieved an email from Evie Introducing the new app with download and install now. So checked the version of the recently installed new app 2.3.5. Check the link in playstore, V 3.14.0 so stupidly thought it might be another update. Direct from the link in the email to playstore and it installed the old version I had previously removed.

Aaaaahhhhh finally found the new app installed a week or so ago but had to specifically search for "evie charging new" otherwise only get the old bugger. I think I need to kill grue with axe.

rant over..

Looking at Plugshare, looks like Evie at Ararat is open. Seems to have replaced the existing EvUP charger there.

I'm guessing Stawell is also done or close, but no one has noticed yet.

3 new Evie sites in Victoria according to Facebook

Oakleigh South, in partnership with Dan Murphy's.
The site is 18 km southeast of Melbourne CBD, filled with rich culture, village charm, and lively festivals.

Surrounding amenities include two golf clubs, an ice skating rink, and a variety of cafes and boutiques. It's also a 10-min drive from Chadstone Shopping Centre and 20 mins from the nearest beach.

Belgrave
36 km from the CBD, this site offers an easy gateway to paradise on the tranquil Dandenong Mountains. Drivers can enjoy the crisp air and relish nature's symphony of over 150 bird species.

Ararat
A suburb where history thrives thanks to the 1857 Victorian gold rush. This site is also surrounded by abundant amenities, giving EV drivers something to do while topping up their vehicles.
The Belgrave and Ararat sites are in collaboration with the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, backed by the Victorian Government.

Yay more single-stall (plus Chademo) chargers! Sigh....

Probably a grant condition. NSW does not have that restriction.

Oakleigh South is right on the corner of Warrigal and North Roads, will be quite convenient.
