I've only recently upgraded to an EV and whilst I charge every 3rd day at home, I started looking and trying out fast chargers in my area.

Turns out that Jolt provide account holders 7kWh of charge per day free of charge.

          how many kms have you covered?
          are you happy with it?

          how heavy is the battery and do you remove it to charge at home?

          sorry for all the questions mate just a bit excited for an aussie built ebike

            @0jay: About 1200km. Definitely happy in that it suits my needs - it has its limitations for sure (wouldn't suggest ripping up the M1 on it) but I it gets me to and from work, shops and other errands without a problem.

            The speedo on the Arthur 6 is hard to read in daylight, but the Arthur 7 range fixed that with an antiglare screen with light mode for daytime riding. The headlight is fine but the highbeam could be a little more potent.

            I'm not sure of the exact weight of the batteries as I rarely remove them, but they can be carried fairly easily one in each hand. I normally charge it by plugging the bike in directly to its charger and using home solar, which doesn't require removing the batteries.

        • dealz4all on 05/07/2025 - 18:13

          Does the Arthur 6 have the ability to plug into these chargers though?

          Thought most Fonz chargers charge from 240V AV, unless you put the on-board charging option. Even then, not sure which plug(s) they use.

          • Jonzay on 06/07/2025 - 09:44

            @dealz4all: There are type 2 adapters available for them official from Fonzmoto.

            • dealz4all on 06/07/2025 - 10:30

              @Jonzay: Yes, I saw that on their website. But, on JOLT, it refers to CCS 2 or CHAdeMO. It also seems to refer to DC charging only.

              On Fonz, it refers to Type 2 (Mennekes / IEC 62196) and that it only supports AC charging.

              So that would seem Fonz can't charge off this? Or are the specs not fully complete/misunderstood?

    • ChickenAdobo on 05/07/2025 - 22:45

      Your bike accept dc charge socket?

      • dealz4all on 06/07/2025 - 10:30

        From what I could see on their website, they only support AC charging, which is why I'm asking.

  • NotBritishorUK on 05/07/2025 - 09:06

    Oh wow I needed this last week for my hybrid when my better half forgot to hit the switch to charge it, I was searching around my work and I can see there is a Jolt charger

    Thanks OP!

    • 0jay on 05/07/2025 - 13:45

      do plug hybrids take dc current?

    The amount of times the charge fails on some jolt stations is ridiculous. They seem to be as reliable as a ShopBack Cashback. It’s a hit and miss.

    • tmonkey on 06/07/2025 - 12:45

      The ones around me are very reliable. I've been using them semi regualarly around Adelaide for 18 months and have only once had a problem. The chargefox ones on the otherhand…never have luck with those

  • mysterytal on 05/07/2025 - 10:24

    There's a $1 per minute idle fee. Does that mean you have to sit with the car for the 20 minutes it takes to charge, immediately unplug it and drive off before the 7kWh has been charged to the EV. That minimum 50 cent fee for taking more than the free allowance could also make this a poor deal.

    • eeeee on 05/07/2025 - 10:37

      Yes or you go shopping for 18 min and run back to the car. Not to mention when you get to the station someone pulls up just before you. Then you can wait for them to leave. fun times.

    • krisspy on 05/07/2025 - 17:53

      Idle fee is for when your car is full but still plugged in.

      If you tick over 7kw then you get charged the normal rates

      • bcYield on 05/07/2025 - 20:22

        If my car is not fully and still plugged in but I disconnect the charging. Would it count idle fee?

  • d2567 on 05/07/2025 - 11:23

    Usually takes me about 20 minutes to get the 7kW.

      At the rate my energy provider charges to charge an EV the savings are 8 cents per kWh times 7 = 56 cents unless I'm 5 seconds late then it'll cost 50 cents minimum charge (or 54 cents per kWh) eliminating most of the savings. 5 minutes over at a rate of 25kW would cost $1.08 for 9kWh more expensive than just plugging it in at home.

      Too risky. I recommend sitting with it and stopping it at 6kWh.

  • bcYield on 05/07/2025 - 12:32

    May not use multi accounts … What would OzBers do?

  • amaslam on 05/07/2025 - 12:47

    I use this a couple of times a month, as this is at the end of my local shops, across from the school/daycare I only use this when out for pickups or shops.

    7 kW gives me about 6% on my car and takes 18 minutes. So if I know I'm there for that long AND the charger is free I plug in. More often than not there are others doing the same hence the 3-4 times a month.

    You've got to hit the stop soon as the app ticks over 6.9 kW otherwise you risk going over the 7kW free by waiting a few seconds too long and get an automatic $0.50 charge as soon as you're over (even if it's .01 kW). Most of the time I manage 6.96 or 6.95.

    Bonus: It's a good parking spot for those 18 mins of charging as the other carparks get quite full.

    • bcYield on 05/07/2025 - 20:16

      Thanks for the tip. The closest one takes me 24km return which costs pretty much 7kWh for my car. If I go Bunnings which is 1/2 way it will save me the trip in exchange I need to drive 10km more plus 18min wait.

      Hope there are anything else I can do at the station to make the trip worthwhile, otherwise night time charging at home might be better, assuming I get 8c/kWh after my smart metre updgrade.

    • cloudy on 06/07/2025 - 17:01

      7kw gives you only 6%? Your battery capacity is over 100kw?

      • caprimulgus on 06/07/2025 - 19:09

        You are not factoring power losses - presumably Jolt count the kwh of power delivered, not the SOC increase in your battery. (Never used Jolt, so I don't know how they charge.)

        Our car has a 99.8kwh battery, and charging 7kwh would probably only actually represent 6% of charging (after overheads).

        (Fwiw, there are cars with over 100kwh.)

  • countmein on 06/07/2025 - 07:36

    Im a free user of them, the inconvenience is really annoying. So I parked my car just right behind the charging spot as it was currently being used for half an hour. As soon as its available, i moved my car and its not usable, because another car has reserved the spot (upgraded/paid users). I feel damn, what a waste of time (for free users). Only 1 charger in my area, otherwise i have to drive 15 mins one way (half an hour for no guarantee i would get a spot or not)

    • cloudy on 06/07/2025 - 17:04

      It’s like saying when free burger places give out free burgers and saying it’s really annoying I have to wait in a massive line for the free burgers.

      If it’s cheap or free the con is usually there is mass demand and you have to wait or miss out.

      Otherwise go to a 80c DC charger, there’s no chance you need to wait around ( unless your travelling peak holiday times)

      • bcYield on 19/09/2025 - 23:50

        At least you get to see the line and decide to stay to go, unless they have a separate invisible vip online orders/line that they serve first.

    • bcYield on 19/09/2025 - 23:54

      Do they have schedule display for paid users?

      And also, it's quite easy for them to implement a function to set a limit on charging. Why do none of them make it?
