But it doesn't matter when you start - if you plugged in and started the session at 0855 and unplugged at 0925, you'll pay 53c from 0855 to 0900, and then 64c from 0900 to 0925. (theoretical example if Tesla had the same rate / peak times - you'd pay 53c from 0855-0925, as you pay the rate as...

It doesn't matter when you start charging under Evie's variable pricing trial - you are charged the applicable rate at the time you charge. Unlike Tesla, where you are charged the rate when you started charging (ie if you plugged in just before the higher rate applied, you still pay the lower...

Or a discount! Depending when you charge. https://support.goevie.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/7389896864911-How-much-does-it-cost-to-charge Trial pricing at Hornsby is 53c from 5pm-9am, or a 5c discount on the 'old 'pricing , or 64c from 9am-5pm, a 6c peak increase over the 'old' pricing.

Some new Supercharger news - a new site in Springwood, QLD - Supercharger - Springwood, QLD

Spotted in the Tesla Owners Australia Facebook Group. 6x V3 stalls in the Woolworths carpark of Springwood Mall (34 Fitzgerald Ave, Springwood QLD 4127) Created a listing on PlugShare - Springwood Mall (Coming Soon) | Springwood, QLD | EV Station (Not sure if this is one of the QLD Government...

I mean, if your manager was fired at the same time as you, as well as all of your team members, and your manager's manager... one would certainly see they've been 'eliminated'. And based on all the farewell / thanks comments on LinkedIn, it would be an incredibly elaborate scheme creating many...

As mentioned, this is a Tesla employee that got fired, not merely a 'rumour'. First hand from someone directly affected. Always provide your sources ;-)

To be fair, it was always Tesla employees spreading that ;) Just one example James Leverette on LinkedIn: Today, the Supercharger organization was unexpectedly eliminated at Tesla.… | 31 comments (eliminated usually means 100%, not 80%)

It's not - https://www.toyota.com.au/electrified/hydrogen-electric/stations - nor is the hydrogen station on Chargefox. :)

Toyota have installed some Schneider EVlink DC chargers in Melbourne - Just added as PlugShare doesn't seem to have pulled them in from Chargefox yet. Toyota Altona | Altona North, VIC | EV Station 4x 22kW Type 2 charging - 30c/kWh 1x 120kW CHAdeMO / CCS2 - 50c/kWh 1x 75kW CHAdeMO / CCS2-...

There are no 22kW RAA Charge sites - they are all 7kW AC, or 150kW/200kW DC sites. I assume the pricing will increase by that 10% when the rollout is 'finished', and perhaps keep the 10% discount for RAA members? (And hopefully motoring groups from interstate, eg NRMA)

There's a second page you missed

I assume that eventually there will be a member discount for the RAA Charge (aka SA Govt EV Network) sites - the site (https://www.raa.com.au/motor/motoring-services/ev-charging-stations) currently says

It's only the handful of 350kW sites that have a discount - usually branded with the motoring organisation in that state eg NRMA/RACV. Use the Chargefox app and look for the ultra rapid sites (Murray Bridge, Keith, etc) There's no discount on the RAA Charge (aka SA Govt network as per this...

I don't know, the Tesla Charging team in Canada weren't as graceful as the Australian team :P https://thedriven.io/2024/05/12/tesla-to-complete-australia-supercharger-projects-as-staff-lament-vaporised-charging-team/

Essential Energy have partnered with EVX for a streetlight trial in Port Macquarie - Innovative streetlight EV charger goes on trial in Port Macquarie Main difference is that it is a single 7kW port, rather than the dual 22kW EVX Polechargers... though obviously much more subtle! PlugShare...

His LinkedIn confirmed he was a council employee

But if Tesla are serious about their mission, if a EV owner that can't afford a Tesla knows they have access to some Superchargers (well maybe except for the BYD Seal or BYD Atto 3 ;P) helps get them over the line, then that's another step closer to their mission. (plus, it's guaranteed revenue...

Spotted on Facebook - Evie are starting a variable pricing trial from next week at some sites.

Elon also opened a new community on X - this should be fun. https://x.com/i/communities/1788837406478594280

Different / new response from BYD Australia to a customer provided today -

You could move to Holdfast Bay - the council staff there seem disappointed Elon went 'chaos mode' and cancelled the Glenelg Supercharger Superchargers in Australia

Cool, some of us have been in the trial for a few weeks (posted a few pages back) - I'm going to take expanding the trial as a good sign. (Missing some of the new Chargefox features though, like session length and the state of charge)

So if it's not part of the grant programs, ie Glenelg and regional Victoria - they're not going to be built for the foreseeable future? (As a new south Welshman I don't really mind ;P)

Good to see the social media team at Tesla Charging survived the layoffs!

For anyone else who had no idea what the 'announcement' was, here's some Bloomberg coverage - Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

They're unique links.

Apparently the BYD Atto 3 and BYD Seal V3 (&4) supercharger compatibility is actually a hardware thing... https://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/byd-australia-explains-why-atto-3-seal-cant-use-tesla-v3-v4-superchargers/ Seems less than ideal for existing BYD Atto 3 & Seal owners, and who knew the CCS2...

And looks like the Port Lincoln DC charger is now live in the Chargefox app :) Well, kinda - showing as 'unknown' - but it's there! Forgot to mention, some more AC sites went live in the last week on Kangaroo Island too, including the airport (Kangaroo Island Airport (1) (Coming Soon) | Cygnet...

Looks like 6x AC plugs went live at Port Lincoln Airport yesterday - Port Lincoln Airport (Coming Soon) | North Shields, SA | EV Station Along with 2x AC plugs at Coffin Bay - Town Jetty Parking (Coming Soon) | Coffin Bay, SA | EV Station The DC charger at Port Lincoln is all installed and...

I think we all need to have a little patience, as per Tesla :-) https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8238178/

1) Except they're not being built anymore 2) Except that funding isn't available for someone else to use 3) There's over half not yet underway. Superchargers in Australia 4) Imagine what some funding would do! as mentioned above, NRMA and Tesla were the main non-metro recipients - I can think...

Imagine if Tesla didn't bother applying for grants for sites they had no intention of building, so someone else could use the funding instead. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8239748/

I believe the software is separate the hardware - eg bp and eg are just using the hardware and their own billing software. Here's an example site in the UK https://electrek.co/2024/03/21/first-non-tesla-branded-v4-superchargers-are-being-deployed/ The app is ugly though :p I forgot to...

Pun intended? Thanks - lines up with the existing coverage (eg EFTM and the regional business in Victoria, and the SA Council staffer talking about the Glenelg site being scrapped) reported earlier in this thread.

Definitely give feedback to Council (and Exploren) - after all, if people can't plug in and charge, no revenue for Exploren (and the site owner....?) - so it's in everyone's interest to ensure it's signposted / painted correctly and parking restrictions are enforced.

I'm guessing these aren't EVX units in City of Sydney? I thought most of them had the road painted and correct 'no parking, except while charging' signage

According to a comment on the Tesla Model 3 & Y Australia Facebook group, Glenelg (Adelaide) was also going to score a Superchagrer! (Keyword being 'was')

Assuming they are paid out, seems fine to me https://www.fairwork.gov.au/tools-and-resources/fact-sheets/minimum-workplace-entitlements/notice-of-termination-and-redundancy-pay Yes, globally the entire Tesla Charging (Tesla Supercharging?) team was laid off.

'Exciting times' as Luke said back at the Brighton East Supercharger launch.... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7801699/

Or use Bluetooth beacons, as Waze & Google does. (Repeating GPS signals is illegal in Australia) https://www.zdnet.com/article/nsw-seeking-approval-to-put-gps-repeaters-in-sydney-tunnels/

Wasn't there an investor call last week? You would've though this would be a good time to share details of the definite plan in place for the future of Tesla Charging... y'know, proactively share instead of letting this so called 'FUD' spread.

Here you go

Wouldn't be the first site to not happen under state funding programs (eg, NRMA at HomeCo Prestons became an Evie ARENA funded site instead) - plus surely it's not any 'easier' to expand existing sites instead of new ones?

Anyone else a little concerned at what the effect of the Tesla Charging team being fired will have for the rollout of future Superchargers in Australia? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/entire-supercharging-team-fired.326329/

Now you can see just how long people have been plugged in at IKEA for. 4 and a half hours - maybe they got lost in the showroom?

Can't get the VIN over AC (except for Tesla EVs + the Tesla Wall Connector AFAIK) and I don't think the VIN is accessible over DC, and the MAC/ID accessible over DC isn't always unique to all cars Plug in and Charge aka Autocharge aka Plug & Charge I didn't realise this was possible - unless...

Today's app update adds support for seeing how long ago a charging session started (both AC and DC), but for DC also shows the state of charge for the car plugged in. Bring on the shaming!

I'm sure I've made at least 457 reports to councils about cars being parked illegally ;)
