Supercharger - Yass, NSW
- Thread starter moa999
- Start date
Assume that's a lengthy and expensive process.
Are there similar maps for other distributors
(Eg. Maybe explaining the lack of charging on the Great Ocean Road in Vic)
That load forecast isn't for the 22kV feeder, it's for the zone substation itself. Looks like there's six 22kV feeders from that ZS, but I don't believe they publish load forecasts down to the feeder level.

I can't believe I missed this. I noted in the Wagga thread that the Essential Energy map at
has been updated and included the new as yet unconnected transformer for Wagga.
Looking at the Yass location
There is a new transformer in the proposed parking lot for the Yass Supercharger.
It is 'only' a 1000kVA,
This would be enough for a 3 cabinet supercharger install and to keep to their proposed 12 stall number could use cabinets with 4 DC outputs each, unlike Tesla's other 12 stall installs in Australia which use 4 cabinets and 3 DC outputs.
This may have been a compromise due to the high load present at the feeder line into the Yass zone substation.
Would be great to get some current photos of this location to see if there is any actual construction underway. It may not yet have any obvious Tesla equipment. It is also possible that this map update is only a planning update and the install has not started.

No. But for future reference here is the current state at Holbrook RSL,
This current update is from August and the previous update was in June, so it seems this portal might be updated every few months. Other network portals only seem to have there data updated yearly at best.
So actually a decent capacity already.
Probably enough for a 4 stall V2 a few years ago, but you'd think they would supplement it today.

There would not be enough site power for 18 v3 stalls with a 1000kVA transformer.
Full photo for context. The overall direction of the photo is away from Lead street.
If you look at the conduit here,
You can see the conduit bending back towards Lead street where substation 25-87072 would appear to be located from the essential energy network map. Given the trench does not continue in that direction I assume some trenchless digging occured there to link the main supercharger site to the transformer. I think this set of conduits would be where the main switchboard for the site would go.
The other three vertical sets of conduits would then be the three v3 supercharger cabinets I speculated would be expected for the 1000kVA sized transformer.
If you then count the parking spaces out to the far conduit along the trench with the wooden boarding covering you can count out 12 spaces as 6 paired spaces forming the expected 12 stalls for this site.
You can see the end of the trenching here
where the far conduit is and the fence showing the end of the site works.

Showing three cabinets installed reinforcing the 3 cabinet with 4 outputs per cabinet for the 12 stalls. This differs from the other aussie 12 stall sites with 4 cabinets and 3 outputs per cabinet.
Updated photo from plugshare today. Good progress.

Interesting, though not that surprising, that Tesla's contractor is Ausconnex which is Endeavour Energy's construction arm installing in Essential Energy territory.
Comment on Plugshare on the photo above (in post #74 by Michael). Personally can't see much difference. Not clear if added by photographer or an uploader.
AusConnex were also used by Tesla at Blaxland (though that is in Endeavours grid territory).
But we've also seen Yurika doing installs for NRMA in NSW so they all compete.

I think he may be referring to the two fully wrapped pedestals on the left beside the cabinets.
The shape is reminiscent of a Tritium unit...
