Anyone not living under a rock will have noticed how many EVs are on the road now. Brands such as tesla started out as 100% electric, so are more obvious. Less obvious are the other brands with pure electric models of existing cars, while some brands have released all-new models that are electric only.

Then, there are part-electric cars know as PHEVs, are hybrids that require a plug for full benefit.

Current EV owners will have noticed more and more chargers being rolled out, but of the existing infrastructure, many don’t show up on apps. Some are out of order, or don’t work when you arrive, or are fully spoken for and have queues of eager drivers waiting.

The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) backs the continuing investment in electric vehicle (EV) charging by Queensland and New South Wales Governments in programs announced this week.

  • The Queensland Government has allocated $42 million towards the installation of 2,500 EV chargers over the next three years, 2,000 of these will be for the use of the Government fleet.
  • The New South Wales Government has allocated $10 million in grants to retrofit more than 100 apartment buildings with EV charging stations.

ABOVE: 2023 EV model stories

Investment in EV infrastructure languished under the conservative federal government for over a decade, leaving Australia dangerously behind the rest of the world. Regardless of the resistance by vested interests in the status quo of fossil fuels, the world is increasing the pace at which renewable energy is taking over. Part of that renewable push will be electric vehicles whose batteries can be used to store and distribute energy.

While most EVs can’t share their energy, and many EV owners can’t charge at home, a rapidly expanding charging option is a key priority as Australia journeys towards an electric future. The more chargers there are, the greater will be the take-up of EVs, making the combined initiatives an important step in building the necessary infrastructure to support the increasing number of EVs on Australian roads.

So far in 2023, Australians bough 65,743 new EVs, up from 21,771 for the same period last year. EVs currently account for 7.3 per cent of new vehicle sales. Of EVs sold, 21,974 have been in NSW and 13,874 in Queensland.

The FCAI supports collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors and will be essential as Australian consumers continue to embrace low emissions technologies.
