I find the number of faulty outlets rather disappointing. I tend to think that when they are providing free power, the value of them is seen as low. To the traveler, the value is much higher and I will be glad when the charging points are seen in the same light as the 'old' fuel outlets.
In Tasmania, there are two new United Fuel outlets. One on the outskirts of Hobart and the other in the NW between Launceston and Devonport. The ferry to the big island comes in to Devonport.
Both are well located but neither has EV charging. That really pissed me off, almost as much when I saw that the new ferry terminal doesn't have EV charging either.
I have had the MG for 2 years now and next week I take it to it's first service in Launceston. That will be the first time I have had to charge away from home so the lack of EV charging sites hasn't really been an issue but still a definite drag on the uptake of EVs.
