This latest round of grant funding is boosted by private investment that will see a total of $41.2 million to roll-out the new charging ports, which will all be powered by renewable energy.
The Minns Labor Government is delivering on its commitment to increase the number of EV chargers across the state, to help households and businesses reduce their day-to-day costs and take NSW closer to our legislated Net Zero targets.
Fast and ultra-fast chargers will allow drivers to get back on the road faster than ever. These cutting-edge chargers will deliver rapid charging that replenishes EV batteries from 10 to 80% in just 10-15 minutes.
Many of the chargers will be accessible for drivers with a disability. Additionally, they will include pull-through charging bays to accommodate EV drivers towing caravans, boats and trailers, making it easier for long-distance travellers to charge their EVs.
The new EV chargers will be installed in 38 suburbs by five successful grant recipients: BP, Energy Australia, Plus ES, Tesla and NRMA. The suburbs are: Ashfield, Balgowlah, Bega, Belrose, Breakfast Point, Campsie, Gladesville, Dubbo, Eastlakes, Gregory Hills, Gymea, Homebush, Jerrabomberra, Jindabyne, Kensington, Killara, Leichhardt, Lidcombe, Macksville, Mascot, Mosman, Mudgee, Northbridge, Ourimbah, Parramatta, Picton, Queanbeyan, Robin Hill, Singleton, Smithfield, Strathfield, Sydney, Sydney Olympic Park, Taren Point, Willow Tree, Tuggerah, Warrawong, and Wentworthville.
Community members who want to find out more about EVs are invited to a free electric vehicle community event on Saturday 24 May, at Engadine Town Square. It will showcase EVs, deliver workshops on charging infrastructure and offer family fun with activities such as face painting.
NSW Minister for Climate Change and Energy Penny Sharpe said“making charging faster and eliminating range anxiety are key to getting more EVs on the road in NSW. These charging stations will make it easier to charge EVs away from home, while also helping to reduce climate pollution.”
