The benefit of living rurally and owning an EV has been fewer owners to battle for charging bays, though that seems to be changing here in Wagga Wagga gradually.
When I got my EV five months ago, how the time has flown, I could pull up to charge at the Tesla bays and never see another car charging. Lately though I have started to see multiple cars charging here, I pulled up there at 8am on Saturday morning and two cars were already on the go.
What did surprise me was that I was last to arrive yet first to depart. There was a Tesla and and older looking EV, this car started charging roughly the same time as myself. I fully expected the Tesla would be gone before me, I thought they charged at a higher speed than my Hyundai, or maybe he was charging to 100% where I only went to 80%, who knows.
In any case, along with EV sales in Australia now greater than that of ICE-based vehicles, I’m guessing checking bay usage at the Tesla chargers is going to become necessary in the future to see if taken or not as we’ve only a small number here. Would be great if they’d add a second site.
