EV Kerbside Charging Grants - Round 1

Submissions closed at 5:00PM 17 November 2023 (AEDT).

Background

In June 2021, the NSW Government launched the NSW Electric Vehicle Strategy to make NSW the easiest and most affordable place to buy and operate an electric vehicle (EV) in Australia.

The Drive electric NSW EV kerbside charging grants is a $10 million investment to co-fund public kerbside EV charging infrastructure. This infrastructure is to be delivered in residential areas where private off-street parking is limited.

The grants aim to:

  • support NSW’s goal of being the easiest place in Australia to own and drive an EV
  • increase EV charging options for EV drivers with limited or no access to off-street parking
  • cater for an increasing number of EV drivers and instil confidence in those considering the transition to an EV
  • test different kerbside charging technologies and commercial models to develop a sustainable kerbside charging market
  • provide information and support on planning approvals pathways for kerbside charging.
