Electric vehicle (EV) drivers in New South Wales are set to see hundreds of new chargers installed across 38 suburbs with a new $16.1 million investment from the State Government.
The latest round of grant funding is boosted by private investment that will see a total of $41.2 million to roll-out 246 new fast and ultra-fast chargers, which will all be powered by renewable energy.
The New South Wales Government said it 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 bring New South Wales closer to its legislated net zero targets.
Fast and ultra-fast chargers are expected to allow drivers to get back on the road faster than ever, delivering rapid charging that replenishes EV batteries from 10 to 80 per cent in just 10–15 minutes.
The New South Wales Government said many of the chargers will be accessible for drivers with a disability and 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 New South Wales Government also hosted a free EV community event on Saturday 24 May 2025, showcasing EVs and delivering workshops on charging infrastructure for community members who want to learn more about EVs.
New South Wales 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 the state.
“These charging stations will make it easier to charge EVs away from home, while also helping to reduce climate pollution.”
New South Wales Member for Heathcote, Maryanne Stuart, said, “I’m thrilled to see the State Government investment in construction of a well-connected charging network across New South Wales.
“We are already seeing the benefits of State Government investment here in Heathcote, where today I have cut a ribbon to celebrate BP’s newest EV charging station, making it easier for EV drivers to hit the road quickly.”
