Driving through NSW in an electric vehicle has never been easier thanks to a $5.9 million boost to charging infrastructure from the Minns Labor Government.
EV drivers will soon have 159 new chargers waiting for them in 48 regional hotspots.
The Shoalhaven will receive 19 charging ports through these grants.
They will be installed along iconic NSW road trip routes and at key tourism destinations, covering stretches of road from Bourke to Murray and Tweed to Tumut. Drivers will be able to charge at rest stops, visitor centres, supermarkets, holiday hotspots and more.
The chargers will be rolled out over the next year, helping make NSW the easiest place in Australia to own an EV.
Not only does the program make travelling a lot smoother but it supports regional tourism and local economies, encouraging EV drivers to stop, explore and spend in communities while they recharge.
$5.9 million worth of NSW Government EV Destination Charging Grants will be boosted by $3.2 million in private investment. This latest round of grants will see the installation of chargers which take less time to fill up a car’s battery and are powered by 100% renewable energy.
