by/through the charge spot. To determine how much electricity is used, their contractor installed a sub-meter on the circuit supplying power to the charge spot. This sub-meter is a brand and model of meter certified for use by the National Measurement Institute in the NEM (National Electricity Market). The meter will be sealed with a tamper-evident seal, will have its remote configuration function disabled, and its LCD display will show the accumulated electricity consumption of the charge spot at all times.
(d) Installation occurred in September 2012 and is an ongoing project.
(e) Better Place has advised that the charge spot has not been utilised to date.
(3) The Better Place program has not been adopted as an ongoing program at the CRVC. In late January, Better Place announced an orderly wind-down of operations in Australia. Since that time Better Place has continued to run and monitor the network as per normal operations.
The CRVC has been advised by Better Place that on Wednesday 26th June 2013, Better Place Australia will be shutting down its network operations in Australia and ceasing ongoing support to charge spots.
The charge spot is able to continue to function in standalone mode without the need for Better Place systems to support it. The CRVC will assess the cost of maintaining the charge spot without Better Place support before making a decision as to whether to continue to provide the service.
