"As reported in the media, including in The Driven, business groups
attempting to install DC charging stations throughout Australia are getting
further behind schedule – and much of this is due to grid connection
restraints.

It’s not a shortage of power over the whole grid averaged out over 24 hours, 7
days a week, but a shortage of peak power available at individual sites when 1
or more DC fast chargers are required.

Two paths can be taken here. One is the path of excuses, finger pointing,
passing the buck and negativity, the other is to find some low cost short term
solutions to shorten the gap between DC chargers available and DC chargers
required.

The best way to do this is make far better use of the charging locations
already commissioned."
