The EV charging infrastructure remains very much a work in progress throughout Australia. In the two years that I’ve been involved in the testing and reviewing of EVs, I’ve found that charging stations are frequently broken/non-functional, offline (for maintenance purposes) or, worse still, the parking space allocated to an EV for charging has been taken by the inconsiderate driver of a conventional vehicle.
Good luck!
