I got out the tape measure today, at Lancelin Superchargers it’s 2.5metres between the white lines on the middle bay. On the end bay it’s 2.4m between the kerb and the SC stall. By comparison at the Karrinyup SC it’s 2.7m line to line.
A Australia standard parking spot is 2.4m wide. Not noteworthy.
A standard 2.4m parking space rarely has a square kerb on one side and a very expensive Supercharger stall on the front of the other side.
Meaning you have about a child's handspan of clearance on either side if you're perfectly centred.
Indeed, I wasn't going to chime back in but I do think this is noteworthy. Sorry I wasn't quite correct, it seems you can get your car in the middle bay, but lets be fair if you pulled in front-first planning to use the rear charger you'd want to be hugging one side and be skinny as a rake to get out of your door (if it was possible at all). Literally CM's. Normal car bays are 2.4m sure, but cars either side are not hard up against (and in fact over) the line on both sides.
It's just a curious configuration. I wonder why they didn't just put them across three bays, with the end bay it could have been located at the front of the bay just on the other side where the curb starts. Then again, much (much) smarter people then me plan this stuff, I wager it'll all make sense when it opens! ![[Zombie]](/tmc/data/avatars/l/236/236453.jpg?1658216431){kind=avatar}
I don't understand why they put them between the bays at all.
I think it was part of their lessons learnt from non teslas charging at supercharger, to allow for a mored varied vehicle charging port location, well at least until we start to see more widely v4 style superchargers.
Suggest you buy a copy of AS2890. End bays require additional width, as do single bays. Multiple bays can be narrower than 2.4 but subject to angle and aisle width, and impediments are not permitted in certain zones alongside the space
AS2890 requires end bays to be 300mm wider and to have at least 1000mm additional width in the aisle for the car to reverse into when departing (so driveway must extend 1m past the car space).Indeed, I wasn't going to chime back in but I do think this is noteworthy.

It's great they're there thank you Tesla! All good feelings
