Electric vehicle drivers in Pittwater will soon have greater access to public charging, thanks to 18 new fast chargers.
The new chargers, funded under the NSW Government’s $2.8 million EV Kerbside Charging Grants program, are part of a major statewide investment, with 66 chargers securing grants to be installed across the Northern Beaches as a whole.
Independent Pittwater MP Jacqui Scruby said the investment would help meet growing demand and ensure residents who don’t have access to off-street parking aren’t left behind in the EV transition.
“This is a win. These fast chargers make owning an EV more practical and convenient for more people – especially renters, apartment dwellers, and anyone without a driveway or a battery,” said Ms Scruby.
“We're cutting pollution, reducing household transport costs, and giving people more reasons to make the switch to electric. With these chargers, we’re powering up local infrastructure for a cleaner future.”
The chargers are due to be installed over the next 12 months and include both pole-mounted and pedestal models.
The rollout is jointly funded by the Minns Labor Government and five private sector partners - Charge Post, Connected Kerb, EVX, Plus ES and EF Asset Management - who will collectively invest an additional $2.2 million.
