EV public charger shortage? The data shows drivers rarely queue to charge
By James Purtill and Alex Lim
It's often claimed Australia has an EV public charger shortage, but analysis of exclusive data shows most fast charger sites are not congested.

Have thought about this article.
And now I've got some questions.
Do the sand batteries just use sand for insulation?
That would be so nifty.
The article, from memory here, writes about the sand being heated up by hot air(?) and then says (?) this is resistive heating same as an electric radiator (?).
But these are different things. An error?
There are quite a few disused concrete silos around. How they'd go with hot sand in them?
Time for a follow up #JamesPurtill.
"...by the beginning of this century , the Australian media was one of the most concentrated on Earth."

"Exactly. We shouldn't romanticise. The media that we had before FaceBook, in the noughties, had huge problems and we shouldn't be trying to recreate that."

#HatTip to RNZ MediaWatch for featuring this in their own podcast feed.
For more than a decade serious news organisatons, including public broadcasters, have increasingly relied on social media and other third-party digital distribution platforms to reach audiences. But now the big tech platforms are no longer interested in traditional news. So, can public interest journalism survive without the online networks they let cannibalise their content? How can serious news outlets avoid slipping into obscurity? And what impact would such a decline have on our culture and democracy?
