Public charging

Does NRMA have advice regarding charging at their chargers during thunderstorms? I'm wondering if lightning strikes nearby power lines (or even occurs nearby, inducing high voltage in the lines), how protected from a high voltage surge are vehicles that are connected to a charger?

I saw on Plugshare that the Gunnedah charger was reported as not working on 6th December, but it still shown in the NRMA app as not working today, almost 2 weeks later.

It's a long weekend in Tamworth, the NRMA charging station has been out of order since Friday, and the only other fast charger in town, Tesla in West Tamworth, has had 2, sometimes 3, of it's 4 chargers out of action since late April, with generally slow speeds from the working 1 or 2 chargers. The

Uralla Bowling club car park has had 2 Occular stands installed, with four Type 2 charging plugs available. I called in to check on progress this morning to find the plugs are locked in and can't be removed to plug into a vehicle, but the displays are active, so the power is on. There are no EV cha
