The NSW Government has announced a $12 million investment to fund destination chargers across 71 eligible zones across state.

Round 3 has some significant changes to previous rounds and applicants are advised to review the guidelines before preparing their application.

The NSW Government’s grant objectives are to:

  • overcome range anxiety and help create a world-class EV charging network

  • support destinations across regional NSW to be EV-ready

  • support the growth of the NSW visitor economy and the ability to cater for an increasing number of EV drivers

  • support the development of EV-friendly road trips across regional NSW

  • reduce emissions and accelerate our transition to net zero.

The third funding round will co-fund private EV charge point operators (CPOs) who can install, own and operate low powered direct current (DC) public EV chargers between 24kW to 100kW in eligible zones across regional NSW. This infrastructure will help supplement the existing growing network of slower AC destination chargers and ultra-fast charging stations.
