NSW is rapidly rolling out more EV chargers, with the State Government investing another $16.1 million to install 246 fast and ultra-fast EV chargers across the state.
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.
By increasing the number of EV chargers across the state, households and businesses can 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 per cent in just 10-15 minutes.
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.
“Making charging faster and eliminating range anxiety are key to getting more EVs on the road in NSW.” said Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Penny Sharpe.
“These charging stations will make it easier to charge EVs away from home, while also helping to reduce climate pollution.”
The new EV chargers will be installed in 38 suburbs by five successful grant recipients: BP, Energy Australia, Plus ES, Tesla and NRMA. In the New England, Willow Tree has made the list.
