On one of our many EV road trips in the MG ZS EV we recently dropped into Merewether Beach near Newcastle for the kids to have a swim. Conveniently located at the adjacent Dixon Park is a great little coffee shop with outdoor seating and a VERY special electricity power pole upon which hangs an EVX PoleCharger EV Charger.
In this video I take a look around this convenient beachside location, go through the charger stats of these duel port level two, 22kW AC chargers and of course put the PoleCharger to good use by charging our MG ZS EV while the kids are hitting the surf. As a first time user I go through using the App, charging our MG EV, the speed and costs of the charge as well as a few other general tips for safe EV charging while your on the road. I also talk about the recent NSW Govt’s funding announcement to fast track the installation of another 500 pole mounted EV chargers across NSW.
Whether your and EV owner with no off street parking or just want to add a couple of hours of charge while at an event or shopping these pole chargers are an economical and convenient way to charge and EV.
I’m sure you will enjoy the video and I cant wait to read your comments to hear what you think about these AC EV chargers and also your experience if you have used them to top up or fully charge your EV.
