QueenslandHelping Regional NSW Destinations Charge Ahead.
The NSW Government is investing $20 million to assist eligible regional NSW businesses and councils by co-funding the purchase and installation of EV chargers. This is the perfect opportunity for NSW destinations to attract new customers and drive more visitors to their Regions.
The grant has been extended to 2 August 2024
Why Install an EV Charger?
There are many great reasons to install an EV charging station, including:
- attracting new visitors to a town, business, venue or council
- enhancing the visitors’ overall experience
- increasing the average length of stay
- enabling businesses to promote the location and EV charging facilities through online charging maps, future EV tourist drives, and word of mouth
- reducing carbon emissions and helping reach Net Zero emission targets
- EV owners often plan their trips based on charger locations, making places with an accessible charger a go-to destination.

- 75% towards the cost of an eligible 7 kW and/or 22 kW electric vehicle charger(s)
