Fast charging at the Bairnsdale Superchargers

Snowy Mountains + Gippsland 2025–26

It's conveniently located close to shops, near the centre of town, but it's right next to the entry of a very busy car park. There are only three charging spots.

I watched another Tesla try a few times to reverse into a charger from a park opposite. Fortunately, other waiting drivers kept their holiday cheer. I tapped on the window and asked if they'd like me to park the car for them. She explained that it was her husband's car, who had apparently gone to the shops. She seemed very relieved to hand over control to someone familiar with the car. I parked it and plugged it in.

After that and a cuppa, the car was charged up enough to take me all the way home.

I had to do a slight three point turn to exit the car park when I was done. Did I mentioned it's a slightly awkward spot?

  1. Did you get the 80% warning about a congestion fee?

    1. Scott Cassidy Yes I did – I think while I was parking the other car. I think I moved mine within a few minutes, so didn't get charged the congestion fee.

      1. Tesla Tripping yeah first time i recieved that message when I was that charger the other week.

        You get 5 mins grace from the 80% mark. So you probably could get upto ~86%
