"Electric vehicle chargers will be rolled out across regional hotspots in a bid
to attract more visitors to country towns.
Road-trippers will be able to charge their electric vehicles at tourism
destinations, in what one state hopes will be a win for the regions.
NSW’s third round of grants boosting EV charging infrastructure will result in
159 new chargers being deployed in 48 regional hotspots, with drivers
encouraged to check out towns and inject money into local economies before they
hit the road.
The chargers will be high-powered at between 22kW and 100kW, which can fully
charge a standard EV SUV in about an hour.
Climate and Energy Minister Penny Sharpe said it would make NSW the easiest
place in Australia to own an EV.
Exact locations are yet to be finalised but government officials said they
would be installed at “iconic road trip routes” and at “key tourism
destinations”, including at rest stops, visitor centres and holiday hotspots.
“Whether you live regionally or are setting off on a road trip, the new
chargers open exciting opportunities to travel further with confidence, Ms
Sharpe said.
The $5.9 million worth of grants will feature $3.2 million in private
investment, with six companies including NRMA and Woolworths to install the
infrastructure."
