To support ease of access to EV charging facilities across the nation, the Australian government will invest, develop and deploy a national mapping tool for EV charging infrastructure. While most Australian states and territories are implementing similar initiatives at a local level, a national map will facilitate infrastructure, energy and telecommunications planning around EV charging, cross border certainty for EV drivers, and inform future investment.
This tool will help ensure EV drivers can access reliable information on public charging infrastructure and easily plug and pay for their charging session, no matter what state or territory they are in.
The Government will work with states and territories to develop and deploy this widescale national mapping capability. It will identify priority locations for regional charging infrastructure to support optimal investment and provide certainty of EV charging for all users across Australia.
