New South Wales is rolling out more EV chargers, as the Minns Labor Government invests another $16.1 million to install 246 fast and ultra-fast EV chargers across the state, with the Snowy Mountains town of Jindabyne set to receive one. This latest round of grant funding is boosted by private investment that will see a total of $41.2 million to roll-out the new charging ports, all of which will reportedly be powered by renewable energy.

The Minns Labor Government advised it is delivering on its commitment to increase the number of EV chargers across the state, to help households and businesses reduce their day-to-day costs and take NSW closer to our legislated Net Zero targets.
“I’m pleased to say the Monaro region will be receiving three of these new EV fast chargers. These cutting-edge chargers allow drivers to replenish 70 percent of their batteries in only 10-15 minutes, meaning less time off the road, and more time enjoying your trip. I know that ‘range anxiety’ has been a barrier for some when looking at purchasing an electric vehicle, and we’re hoping to alleviate some of that with these new chargers.”

“Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra, and Jindabyne will all be receiving a charger meaning three of the 246 new chargers will be in Monaro.”
“Additionally, all of these chargers will be located at are pull-through charging bays, meaning people towing a caravan, trailer, or boat will have ease of access when topping up for their road trip.”
