ev charging Mount Beauty

I have recently bought an ev. I also recently returned from a holiday in Mount Beauty where there is not 1 public ev charging station. When I looked on the Plug Share App the closest is at the Allamar Hotel which is a little out of the way and not well advertised. AGL has a large depot there and generates hydroelectricity. Surely it would be in AGL's interest to offer an ev charging station. Think of the public relations and good will that would be created by giving a station to say a local coffee shop. EVs are becoming more popular and if  holiday destinations like Mount Beauty don't have accessible stations they will be excluded from itineraries. Cheers

Yes, a bit sparse between chargers, it's like that for a lot of regions, and worse number of outlets for how many new-ish EV owners visiting the high country in that region ?

Far from adequate when busy,.

The Allamar has just 2 outlets, not a lot for those travelling through, and at times especially in snow season cold weather when the vehicles / batteries are less efficient.

Apart from the Supercharger at Bright (4 chargers up to 275kw max), the ones at Mt Beauty (2 chargehub) and Falls Ck (4 chargefox) are 22kw.

My son takes his X for a run up to Falls Ck from Melbourne sometimes, not sure what chargers he uses apart from the Superchargers.
