More EV chargers hitting NSW kerbsides

09 July 2025

Electric Vehicle drivers in NSW will soon have access to another 549 new kerbside chargers across 130 suburbs, thanks to a $2.8 million investment by the Minns Labor Government

The new chargers will make EV charging easier, more accessible and convenient for drivers who don't have off-street parking, such as those who live in apartments and dense housing areas.

Electric vehicles help slash household transport costs and accelerate our efforts to reach the state’s legislated net zero emissions targets. Expanding the EV charging network is key, giving drivers the confidence to go electric with ample options to top up their vehicles.

The $2.8 million in EV Kerbside Charging Grants have been awarded to five recipients, who will contribute another $2.2 million in private investment to install the chargers. The recipients are Charge Post, Connected Kerb, EVX, Plus ES and EF Asset Management.

The chargers will be installed across 22 Local Government Areas:

City Of Parramatta – 70
Inner West – 47
City of Sydney – 48
Bayside – 37
Northern Beaches – 66
Newcastle City – 48
Ryde City – 42
Ku-ring-gai – 25
Penrith City – 14
Hunter's Hill – 26
Strathfield – 24
Hornsby Shire – 22
The Hills Shire – 10
Cumberland – 9
Willoughby City – 18
Woollahra – 9
Wollongong City – 12
Randwick City – 7
Waverley– 7
Lane Cove – 2
Shellharbour – 4
Sutherland Shire – 2

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.

While this grant focuses on densely populated areas, the NSW Government is boosting the EV charging network in regional areas through the EV Destination and EV Fast Charging Grants.

Quote attributable to Acting Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Paul Scully:

“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.

“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.”
