Checkers bringing the Electric Love

[Pegging]

Go to Layers in the bottom left corner on Google Maps, go to More, then untick "global view"... You'll now have up-to-date satellite view.

For years I have been wondering WTF they were going to update maps again.

Thank you!

Seems it will literally be free.

There’s just a socket without any payment interface.

Maybe it's still coming. I doubt they'd make it free, anyone can just rock up there whether they're shopping or not.

They might have a meter to scan a barcode on the Checkers receipt to give you a discount or something like that. They already do that at some malls to give you free parking...

That looks like its for staff or the mall occupants

Nothing I can see suggests any future augmentations.

Remember like I said this entire complex is powered by a massive solar array.

Label literally says charge while you shop.

Will take some close ups when I got out…like some electric nerd weirdo.

Does appear there may be some kind of NFC tap thing above the socket.

There are 2 EV charging stations at Bellville Municipality as well.

Signage is on point. nice one Checkers.

So this is the product.

Seems up to 160kW and I was half right it’s not NFC but RFID so it may be a case of using prepaid cards.

Up to 160kw is pretty good by SA standards.
