The latest grants from New South Wales’ Minns Government and co-contributions from the private sector will see $41.2 million invested to install another 246 fast and ultra-fast EV chargers across the state; all powered by renewables.<\/p>\n

The NSW Electric Vehicle Strategy<\/a> aims to support an increase in EV uptake to more than 50% of new car sales by 2030\u201331, and help the state achieve a goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n

Battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV)1<\/a><\/sup> vehicle sales grew to make up almost 10 per cent of new car sales in NSW last year. In the first quarter of this year, BEVs only accounted for around 6.5% \u2014 but throw in a spike in PHEV popularity and the proportion was close to 11%.<\/p>\n

A key action under the Strategy to support greater EV uptake is a state government investment of $209 million for ‘world-class’ electric vehicle charging coverage across the state. This includes $149 million being poured into fast charging grants under co-funding arrangements with operators who will install and operate stations at 100-kilometre intervals across all major state highways, and every 5 kilometres in NSW metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n

The latest round of related grant funding from the Minns Government of $16.1 million has been boosted to $41.2 million by the five grant recipients: BP, Energy Australia, Plus ES, Tesla and NRMA. Under this round, fast\/ultra-fast EV chargers will be installed in 38 towns and suburbs across the state, a list of which can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each site will be receiving between $200,000 and $600,000 in grant support.<\/p>\n

Inclusivity And Functionality Focus<\/h2>\n

“Many of the chargers will be accessible for drivers with a disability,” states the NSW Government announcement. “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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the NRMA<\/a>, many sites will be capable of delivering up to 400kW for EVs that can handle such a high charging rate. Most can’t, but as time goes on more new models will be able to take advantage of this.<\/p>\n

Construction on the new sites under this round will begin this year, with all funded locations expected to be online by 2027 \u2014 and there’s further funding for more stations to come.<\/p>\n

Finding A Public Charger<\/h2>\n

Even without these new stations, the number of public EV charger locations across New South Wales (and Australia for that matter) has been growing rapidly over the last few years. This EV public charging station map<\/a> identifies where a vehicle can be topped up, but note many won’t be fast or ultra-fast chargers. The map is powered by Plugshare<\/a>, which is also available as an app.<\/p>\n

Amp Up Home EV Charging And Save<\/h2>\n

Level 3 fast charging may be convenient, but can be expensive and create some additional wear and tear on an EV battery if performed on a regular basis; particularly if the EV doesn’t have active thermal management \u2014 although most do these days.<\/p>\n

The plug-in ‘granny’ or ‘trickle’ chargers (Level 1) supplied with EVs aren’t much chop, but suit some owners. But as these devices are so slow, the time needed for charging may spill over into periods of the day when electricity costs the most if on a Time of Use (ToU) electricity plan.<\/p>\n

A step up from the granny charger is a hard-wired AC charger (Level 2), which depending on the device and the EV can charge between 3 and 10 times faster. Couple Level 2 charging with solar panels<\/a> on a home’s rooftop and it can be a match made in heaven, especially if the device has the smarts to use surplus solar energy.<\/p>\n

We’re now spoiled for home EV charger choice in Australia – so much so that it can be confusing trying to figure out which one to buy. You can learn everything you need to know in the SolarQuotes home EV charging guide<\/a>, which includes product comparisons, estimated pricing and recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
