Jolt first attempt — ICEd at Bayswater Station

Bayswater, Victoria
HQ HQ FB

This was my first chance to try out a JOLT Charge charger, next to Bayswater Station. Unfortunately, this one was “ICEd” by a van. Not their fault, though, because there is no “EV charging only“ sign here. I expect that makes it really difficult to use. In addition, there’s no way to come back to park here, except by going around a very large block. So, if you park further down to wait, then see a car leave, you’re unlikely to be able to move your car to the charger before another car parks there after turning off the main road.

So, this time, I gave up and moved on to another charger. See my next post about Jolt charging at Ferntree Gully Station.

    It doesn't even look like an EV charger so I'd have to agree with you - it's going to be ICE'd often and not realistically their fault.

    We were lucky the other day to charge successfully here but we stayed a little to long.

    Don't stay even 0.01kWh past 7kWh as they will charge minimum 50c

      Scott Cassidy Good to know. I did experiment once, disconnecting at about 6.9kWh. Sure enough, zero cost.
