Around 800,000 customers in our network area have limited opportunities to install their own EV charging systems due to a lack of off-street parking, prohibitive costs, rental agreements or strata restrictions. Pole and substation mounted EV systems avoid the need to dig up the road, helping to deliver public EV charging faster and at lower cost, with less disruption to the community and less clutter on the footpath.
Ausgrid is partnering with commercial operators to provide kerbside electric vehicle (EV) charging by utilising our substations and poles.
Jolt launch electric vehicle (EV) charging
Ausgrid has partnered with JOLT to launch free fast electric vehicle charging across Sydney by transforming existing street side kiosks. The JOLT EV charger sits on top of Ausgrid’s sub-station kiosks and has two 25kW DC charging ports. These units incorporate advertising screens and provide 7kW of free charging per day to EV drivers.
