70 new Electrical Vehicle chargers will be rolled out in Parramatta.
It’s part of a statewide roll-out of 549 new kerbside chargers across 130 suburbs, costing the State Government $2.8 million.
The investment will see the installation of chargers ranging from 7 kilowatts to 22 kilowatts and will include pole mounted and pedestal EV chargers. They will be installed on kerbsides and in public council car parks over the next 12 months.
Acting Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Paul Scully, said it was a positive step forward.
“Expanding our charging network gives drivers the confidence they need to go electric, knowing ample charging options are readily available, even if they don’t have a garage or off-street parking,” he said.
“EVs give people the chance to slash household transport costs and accelerate our journey to net-zero emissions – every EV charger installed brings us closer to a cleaner, more affordable transport future.”
