Chargefox Future Fuels Public Fast Charging
- $1.4m Funded by ARENA
- $3.77m Total project cost
Summary
The Chargefox Future Fuels Public Fast Charging project will deliver 16 fast charging stations across Adelaide and Perth.
Need
The Chargefox Future Fuels Public Fast Charging project acknowledged that the Australian EV industry is in the early stages of development. In cities and regional centres, charging blackspots (i.e. areas without convenient access to public fast-charging stations) have been identified as a key barrier to the adoption of EVs for both the public and fleets. This project will increase the availability of public fast charging infrastructure to reduce blackspots and provide convenient recharging options for EV owners.
Action
Chargefox will install a network of public fast charging stations in Adelaide and Perth. Each station will provide at least two designated EV charging parking spots and will have a capacity of at least 100 kW.
