A quick shop at Erina Fair, on the NSW Central Coast, before heading south to The Snowy…

…Mountains, where I will car camp tonight.

Charging:

Since I’m parking for a few minutes anyway, I connected to one of the newish Evie DC chargers in the Erina Fair carpark.

Previously, the only public charging option around here was the Tesla destination chargers in the next car park. Those are free, slower (11kW) than fast chargers, in an awkward parking spot, most often busy, sometimes ICEd.

Using the Evie chargers is a breeze – just park and plug in. Since I’ve already setup “AutoCharge”, the system recognises my car without needing to use an app or credit card.

The max charge rate seems to be 75kW if I’m the only one at the “bowser”, but reduces to 50kW if another is also in use. Perhaps as low as 25kW if all four are in use? Even when mine was nearly finished and only drawing 6kW, the next charger was limited to 50kW until I stopped.
