Happy Easter! I hope all you EV owners have fun on your Easter travels!  :whistle

Electric car owners warned of charging wait times this Easter

With more people hitting the road this Easter, electric car owners are being warned of queues at charging stations.
The Easter long weekend typically brings an influx of people to the nation's roads, and electric car owners are being cautioned to plan ahead to avoid spending their road trip queuing for chargers.
As is the case with petrol stations, electric charging facilities will also see extended usage.

EV charging providers such as Evie, which has over 200 charging stations around Australia, have predicted that over 10,000 EV drivers will use their network over the long Easter weekend. This comes after Evie reported that 8000 unique users charged up at their stations over Christmas.

Obviously, with this many electric cars on the road, there will be some wait times on the chargers in heavily populated areas. Bernhard Conoplia, Head of Public Charging Business for Evie, says that it pays to plan ahead before heading out.

I particularly liked the bit on "Can you get fined for hogging a charger"  :popcorn
