I have a vehicle that uses Chademo, and at bigger rural charging stations, there are usually 3+ ccs chargers for the 1 Chademo. I expect most build out from here to focus on ccs, and there is the tech to convert ccs to Chademo so I'll not be left with an un road-trip-able vehicle, so appreciate while you think they are useless, the majority of investment now is increasing ccs.
Good to hear SA is doing good work here, and disappointed VIC sucks on that stretch. There are charging deserts even closer to Melbourne over East too and that sucks.
agree about most the other points especially queuing for chargers. hope that comes!
You would have had a great run, only once saw the chademo spot taken, which was by an ice car :D It was by a woman who was part of a convoy with another EV, she didnt go far, and no chademo cars turned up anyway. But i did find that funny.
I do occasionally see other Chademo cars, and there are definitely a few that check in on Plugshare, I think we tend to be more regular about checking in as it's really helpful to know if the Chademo port works for others.
