The NSW Labor government will install more than 670 kerbside charging ports for electric vehicles across hundreds of sites, with Sydney’s inner west by far the biggest beneficiary of the public-private partnership, billed as the largest rollout of public chargers in the country.
Minister for Climate Change Penny Sharpe said the increased availability of public charging options should give people the confidence that their next vehicle purchase could be an EV. The state government will invest $4.1 million to install the charging ports across 16 council areas, which will be boosted by $8 million in private investment.
