I still have no idea why most of the 7kW AC chargers alongside the 150kW / 200kW DC charges aren't on the Chargefox network (yet?), so a free charge is always a bonus - but I don't get why!Full house.. city of onkaparinga we need more EV charging!!
Im testing my cable on the 7kw which appears to be free

Yeah im not complaining!I still have no idea why most of the 7kW AC chargers alongside the 150kW / 200kW DC charges aren't on the Chargefox network (yet?), so a free charge is always a bonus - but I don't get why!
Does any one have any insight into what’s happening at the moana site? It says chargefox but isnt RAA. Its been sitting there a long time now…
Its a bit of a weird one. Have you seen any other ABB units like that around SA? At first i was thinking about that supermarket out near Gawler (drakes?) but on closer inspection it’s different.Can't say I do. Moana Heights Shopping Center is managed by MRS Property Pty Ltd. I emailed them asking who the asset owner is, but they never responded. According to someone on Plugshare, Chargefox has no ETA. I wonder if Chargefox can tell use who the asset owner is?
The one at Drakes is AC.Its a bit of a weird one. Have you seen any other ABB units like that around SA? At first i was thinking about that supermarket out near Gawler (drakes?) but on closer inspection it’s different.
I wonder what is holding it up? Its been there wuite some time and the locals seem restless
There are a couple. Any enterprising individual or business can install a DCFC and get Chargefox to act as the clearing house for payments.Its a bit of a weird one. Have you seen any other ABB units like that around SA?
Could be anything. If it is a smaller operator, they may not be fully versed with the project management - civil, electrical, switchboards, metering, approvals.I wonder what is holding it up?
Does it run from that cabinet nearby or is that just for comms?The Seaford Kempower DCFC is keeping the RAA on its toes. It appears to have no power again tonight, which is becoming a regular occurrence. I suspect something seems to be tripping the breakers/RCD. The 7kW ChargeMate always stays powered up.
It also often reports having a faulty port B - I'm now suspecting the two events are related.

It had no power on the night of the 2nd March. Working again on the 3rd. Tripped again on the 5th March. The faulty port B was the 12th March.
Despite the issues, the RAA always seems to have it back running the next morning. I suspect tomorrow will be the same. So they are trying their best to keep the network functional.
Edit: Appears to be back up from the Chargefox App. I wonder if someone physically attends site, or can they cycle it remotely?

I think the location is terrible, but probably the only place the council would extend their generosity to allow EV charging as apparently they are a hazard catching on fire etc…
Didn’t they have to trench the HV a fair way to get there?
I went past the other night and there were cars there but also cars that were not EVs and people lingering around. Not very inviting place to be at night.
I hope so. It’s pretty sketchy.The cabinet is the switchboard with breakers and probably metering. Not sure too much on the details for comms.
Yes, It is not the greatest site. The carpark has always had 10 overhead lights, that have not worked for years. They are fed from the same padmount transformer than the DCFC - opposite the entry to the carpark (east of the DCFC). I was hoping when they did the electrical works, the lights would be fixed, but that hasn't been the case. The site is very dark at night.
I'm not sure if the RAA has a job on the council to fix the lights as part of their lease.
I went past seaford tonight as I was a bit bored. There were no lights on the DCFC, not sure if it goes into a standby mode or if it was still broken as PlugShare checkins seems to indicate.The cabinet is the switchboard with breakers and probably metering.

Some pretty shadey characters in the carpark so I didn’t stop, can probably go past tomorrow during daylight to see if it’s just the AC outlet working.
PlugShare says both DC outlets are working
Ohh thanks, saved me the trip this morning (Any excuse to take this car for a drive!).Plugshare says it's offline (9:03am) - so I suspect no power. This DCFC appears to have three states - 1. fully operational, 2. port b output relay fault and 3. Dead (No power). It generally cycles between those states over the coarse of 24/48 hours.
I don't know if they have a service call booked for it, but it appears at the moment the preferred "fix" is just to power cycle/reboot it. That generally gets the DCFC working for another 12 to 24 hours.
