Supercharger - Lancelin, WA

[moa999]

There was also a fairly recent I think TOCWA interview with a Synergy employee who suggested that Tesla was looking to install alongside the WA Govt rollout in a number of places.

See the video in this post, particularly comments at 1.26.30 or so.

The longest EV charging network in West Australia

I've updated OpenChargeMap with this information. I already had Kalbarri and Northampton. https://openchargemap.org/

So much like NSW think there is a lot of work going on that isn't seen on the Tesla website map.. albeit no doubt Govt funding can help bring things forward.

Yes - even the site this thread about isn't on the map, and we also know about Albany. Previously unknown Supercharger sites seem to show up under construction with some regularity - eg the recent Runaway Bay site in Queensland. In WA I'd be keeping an eye on Bunbury for example.

Bunbury? I would not think so. You may not be aware but there is already a supercharger at Eaton which is a suburban neighborhood of Bunbury.

Fair enough, maybe somewhere like Bridgetown or Manjimup then?

There’s a fair distance between Eaton and Dalyellup, plenty of scope to place Superchargers on the eastern side of the highway.

Either of those would be OK. But, I'm hoping that they are putting one in a Albany along side the WA EV site. No evidence of that yet.

Yes, I was aware of the minutes. By evidence I meant actual hardware and work being done.

The Lancelin site is back on the Supercharger map again, now with a target date of just "2023".

The Lancelin site is waiting for Western Power upgrades.

The WAEV network chargers have already been installed, but won't be powered up for a few more months.
The Superchargers will be installed at the same location.

Synergy has advised that the “Go-Live” date for the electric vehicle charging station in Lancelin has been delayed. The EV chargers have been installed but they won’t be operational for another 3-4 months.

The EV charging station in Lancelin is located on Rock Way adjacent to Wangaree Park, and will contain two EV chargers – see area highlighted yellow on map below.

Synergy and Western Power are working together to ensure this delay is minimised as much as possible and apologise for any inconvenience the delay may cause.

Further updates will be provided once the chargers are fully operational.

Just a shame it's going to seemingly sit that way for a while per Zombie's post

The long-awaited transformer is in and things will be progressing quite quickly.

Well done @Murbs

Hopefully the superchargers aren't too far behind then.

I wonder why they made it two reverse parking bays plus one forward parking bay, when you can't use the latter with a trailer attached anyway - it will stick out onto the road.

By all reports anyone approaching the forward parking spot from the left of photo will have to manoeuvre very cautiously or they’ll hit the Supercharger stall or kerb

If only we had a front bumper camera....

But at least we still get parking sensors.

I was here today, charged at the WA EV charger no worries at all. The Tesla stalls are strange, the centre space can't be used it's not as wide as my wife's Model 3, the bay on the right is very close to the curb it would be extremely tight.
