Purpose

The Office of Energy and Climate Change NSW are investing $20 million to assist eligible regional NSW destinations by co-funding the purchase and installation of EV chargers.

Overview

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.

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

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.

This round will fund up to 80% of costs associated with EV charger installations, up to a maximum of $200,000 per site.
