Sydney boosts electric vehicle charging infrastructure adoption 

Sydney’s electric vehicle (EV) drivers currently have expanded on-road charging opportunities, with nine low-impact plugins focused decisively positioned for the comfort of occupants and guests. 

Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, highlighted the meaning of diminishing vehicle discharges to accomplish net-zero targets. 

“Drastically lowering transport emissions is critical to meeting our net-zero targets. We are making great inroads by improving active and public transport options, but ensuring remaining private vehicle use is as green as possible is also incredibly important,” Moore said. 

This attainment movement, a result of a cooperative preliminary between the City of Sydney, Ausgrid, and EV charging framework accomplice EVX, mirrors the city’s proactive way of dealing with its Electrification of Transport technique and action plan. 

The City of Sydney, related to Ausgrid and EVX, strategically sent eight power shaft-mounted chargers across the city, exhibiting a pledge to accessibility and environmental sustainability. 

Ausgrid Group Leader of Distributed Service Rob Amphlett Lewis featured the adequacy of force shaft-mounted chargers in assisting the progress to EVs. 

“Power pole-mounted chargers are faster and cheaper to deploy than other kerbside charging units and reduce urban clutter, causing less disruption to our surrounding communities,” Lewis said. 

“Areas of inner Sydney with little or no off-street parking will greatly benefit from this service, and these new chargers have been strategically located to serve these communities,” EVX CEO Andrew Forster said. 

The charging points can be found at the following addresses: 16 Kent Street in Millers Point, 12 Trinity Avenue in Dawes Point, 55 Pyrmont Street in Pyrmont, 8 Brown Street in Newtown, 15 Carillon Avenue in Camperdown, 3-19 Yurong Street in Darlinghurst, 2 Huntley Street in Alexandria, 27 Morley Avenue in Rosebery, and 75 St Johns Road in Glebe. 

“With over 8% of new cars sold in Australia now EVs, the scale-up of charging infrastructure is only going to become more important. 

Being able to install these eight new chargers in just a week shows that rapid deployment of new kerbside charging infrastructure is possible to meet the rising demand,” Moore added.
