There are over 5,295 EV charging sites in Australia, about 1,605 are DC charging sites and 3,690 are AC charging sites.
Most AC destination chargers require you to bring your own Type 2 cable. I use these chargers when I am parked for work, shops, meal, beach, park or library etc. or at my accommodation.
Type of Cable 7kW or 22kW
Some EVs accept single phase charging and some EVs accept 3 phase charging.
If you buy a 22 kW 3 Phase 32A cable it will work at all public Type 2 AC chargers and it will work on all cars, (single or 3 phase).
So I carry and use the 22 kW 3 Phase 32A cable, which I can use on my EV, or the other EVs of family or friends, at any AC public charger.
Length of Type 2 cable to reach EV pole chargers
I would recommend a 7 or 7.5m long cable, as it allows you to reach pole chargers if your charging port is on the front or rear end, or driver’s side of your car. For example, some parking spots require you to park rear to kerb, or parallel, so either front or rear of car might be near the charging socket.

Back up AC chargersthat require Type 2 cable
There are now often back up AC chargers provided at DC charging sites, that you can use if the DC site is busy or out of service. These AC chargers usually require you to have your own type 2 cable.
The Tesla Shop was out of stock at the time I bought my EV, so I ordered mine from https://EVolutionAustralia.com.au and it arrived safely. It was 5m, which is just long enough. I’d go for the 7.5m one next time.
