Drivers are set to receive a huge boost in charging infrastructure across the state with hundreds of new bays to be built in the latest round of electric vehicle fast charging grants

 Treasurer and Energy Minister Matt Kean said the NSW Government is investing a further $80 million to co-fund up to 180 ultra-fast charging stations in round two of the grants, with all stations to be built over the coming 24 months.

The second round of the grants will see the addition of larger stations with a minimum of 8 ultra-fast charging bays, to be built in areas of high demand.

The fast chargers will be placed no more than 5km apart in metropolitan areas and no more than 100km apart on major roads and highways across NSW.

The NSW Government has a target to add approximately 250 fast and ultra-fast charging stations in total across NSW. Round Two closes 10 March 2023.
