The NSW Government are investing $20 million to assist eligible regional NSW destinations by co-funding the purchase and installation of EV chargers.
An investment in EV charging by your business will:
attract new visitors to your site
enhance your visitors’ experience
increase the average length of time visitors spend at your site
enable you to promote your location and EV charging facilities through online charging maps, future EV tourist drives, and word of mouth.
By joining the growing EV charging network across NSW, you will also be part of the solution to reduce carbon emissions and help reach our Net Zero emissions target.
With EV owners planning trips around charging locations, an EV charger on your site makes your business a welcoming place to stop and stay for longer.
A key action of the NSW Electric Vehicle Strategy, the grants will encourage the growth of the EV market by:
overcoming range anxiety (battery charge) through a widespread EV charging network
supporting EV-ready regional destinations across the state
supporting the continued growth of our visitor economy
ability to cater for an increasing number of EV drivers.
