The station was has been installed at the UWA campus at car park no. 3, next to the University Club. The launch was attended last week by WA Minister for Finance; Mines and Petroleum the Hon Bill Marmion, Member for Balcatta Chris Hatton MLA and UWA Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Johnson.
The Combo-Carger station is said to be approximately seven times faster than REV’s public charging stations in the Perth metro area and about 25 times faster than home charging. It is open for use by the general public, with no fees for power usage or parking.
