Looks like some more fast charging stations coming to the cities!

But quick summary of funding available:
The document also says stations should be able to charge two vehicles simultaneously at 50 kW or faster. Depending on how you read this it could mean both at 50 kW at the same time, or capable of 50 kW but not necessarily both at once.
Organisations will be able to select and apply for specific geographic regions individually.
interesting that it's a city focus, but ARENA has previously funded the Chargefox and Evie ultra-rapid networks for long distance trips so I guess it's to complement that.
Future Fuels Fund - Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA)
The first Round of the Future Fuels Fund will see $16.5m made available to fund battery electric vehicle (BEV) public fast charging infrastructure in capital cities and regional centres.
ARENA defines a fast charging station as a publicly accessible location able to charge a BEV at 50kW or above. A full list of the eligible Geographic Zones, minimum installation requirements and funding available, is included in the Future Fuels Fund Round 1 Guidelines.
