Finally trying the Dindi Cafe in Yarck

On the way, yesterday, from Yackandandah to our home in Emerald, we stopped for a break in Yarck.
We have passed the Dindi Cafe many times before. Now we could finally check it out. We had read reviews that said it had strong smells from the products, but our sensitive noses found the smells of lemon myrtle, eucalyptus quite pleasant. We bought a couple of products and shared a toasted panini for a late lunch. They just offer ready made food from the display cabinet.
Charging
The main reason we had noticed this place was due to the EV charger sign. We prefer to charge whenever we’re parked anyway. We didn’t need to charge to get home, but decided to try it out. My first disappointment was that it requires our own type 2 cable. We have one, but using a connected cable is much easier. We pressed on, in the name of research.
It requires the Chargefox app. The app tells you that it’s no cost, even though the sign doesn’t. I plugged in, hit `Start` in the app, and it started charging our EV, as you’d expect.
It seems to be broken. It maxed out at 5kW, rather than the advertised 7kW (32A x 240V, single phase). And it stopped part way through.
We only got about 2kWh charge out of it. I wouldn’t bother next time. The Yea supercharger is just up the road.
