NSW Turbocharges Kerbside EV Charging with 600+ New Ports

Motorists in NSW are benefiting from the largest rollout of public kerbside EV chargers in the country.

Dr Marjorie O’Neill, Member for Coogee is delighted with the progress of delivering EV charging stations in the Eastern Suburbs. “A combined total of $1.2 million will fund 202 charge ports across 138 sites in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

“We have now well surpassed our key election promise to deliver $700,000 to support EV charging infrastructure in Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra councils.

“This is further evidence that the interests of the people of my electorate of Coogee are best served by a Labor Government,” she said.

The 138 EV charging sites are part of the NSW Government commitment to increase the take up of EVs by investing $4.1 million to install 671 EV charging ports at 391 sites across the state.

Electric vehicles not only drive down the cost of transport for NSW households, but they also help NSW to meet its net zero emissions targets. Expanding the state’s EV charging infrastructure network gives drivers the confidence to hit the road in an electric vehicle, knowing they have many options to top up the battery.

All chargers will be installed on kerbsides or in public council car parks over the next 12 months and will be open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Electric Vehicle Council Chief Executive Officer Behyad Jafari said “We know convenient and visible charging infrastructure in densely populated areas is critical to giving people the confidence to switch to EVs.

“These chargers mean everyone can benefit from EVs, including renters and people who can’t charge at home.”
