"When they plug in their car, what are they going to do? [They will] go for a walk into town, get a coffee, grab a hamburger," he said. Nice to see the positivity 👍 130

Will L @willl.bsky.social · 11/10/2026In a lot of countries, these companies would be sttate energy companies. These network operators in Australia are private companies as a result of asset sell offs by conservative state governments.. So they want to ensure they get $$$. 110
Will L @willl.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Power distributors own/operate the power network and then retailers sell the energy to homes etc. And access to these kerbside units are via by multiple CPOs to customers. 110
Will L @willl.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I think they're already activated in other areas a few months ago. But this one was newly installed. They probably purchased them all in bulk and are slowly installing them. These are being installed by power distribution companies. There's some opposition to it www.drive.com.au/news/tesla-a...drive.com.auTesla fires blistering salvo at government's new EV charging rulesTesla is among the dozen-plus organisations opposing power distributors owning EV charging infrastructure. 110
Will L @willl.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yeah, it'll be interesting to see utilisation. It's near some apartments as well. It doesn't show up in the Chargefox app yet, so unsure of costs. There's also a pair of AGL/Everty chargers near this particular unit in Moorabbin at the St Kilda training facilities. 010
Will L @willl.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Found one of the United Energy power pole mounted/kerbside AC chargers in my local council area. They are 3 phase (22 kW) EV charger units from Connected Kerb.

Will L @willl.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Had a $10 Evie voucher to use up before it expired, so decided to charge from 35-80% on this 150kW Tritium EV charger. Took about 12mins to charge my 2026 Zeekr X RWD. 120

Will L @willl.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We've got a Vic state election coming up in November, and yet I haven't really heard anything about any parties' EV policies. Glad that there's an open tender for Electric Buses, hopefully it goes ahead regardless of who wins the next election. We're way behind NSW/ACT in many categories on this. 000

Will L @willl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Of the "legacy" automakers, the only one I actually like the designs of are Renault. They sell them some cars here, but they won't bring the 5/4/Twingo that I like the designs of to Australia 😭 But you at least the brand has a presence here, unlike you guys bsky.app/profile/will... 210

Will L @willl.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As an iPhone 13 Pro owner, I don't honestly see a lot of enticing reasons to upgrade yet. At least not until my battery degrades a lot more than now (80% max capacity). Pros (for me): - USB-C - Bigger battery capacity (?) - Better night mode photography - More camera controls for built in app 100

Will L @willl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Yeah, momentarily forgot about that 😭😂 I think a good size comparison for the EV3 is the Chevy Bolt EV. Well, similar length anyway. 120
