Charge Up Grants – which cover up to half of the costs for installing EV infrastructure – are designed to increase the availability of electric vehicle (EV) chargers throughout WA, including at workplaces, local attractions and tourist destinations, and for public charging along key travel routes.
To date, more than $4.5 million of grant funding has been approved to assist organisations, businesses, and local governments to install 611 chargers in 341 locations, spanning as far north as Port Hedland and as far south as Walpole.
The Charge Up Grants program has previously supported organisations such as Brightwater Care Group and MSWA, Evedon Lakeside Retreat, the City of Bayswater and the Shires of Upper Gasgoyne and Katanning, with the costs of purchasing and installing EV chargers for various user groups.
Charge Up Grant applications opened on 8 October 2024 and close on 30 June 2025.
As stated by Energy, Environment and Climate Action Minister Reece Whitby: “These grants are a great way to help organisations support the energy transition.”
“This funding is available to support a wide range of users to install EV charging infrastructure where there is growing demand, including at workplaces and local tourist attractions.”
“By funding charging infrastructure and easing range anxiety for EV drivers, we are helping reduce carbon emissions and putting WA closer to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.”
