There are two OTR service stations at different stages of planning with EV charging included in the plans.
The first is at Yass opposite the existing service centre and is approved and construction is probably starting soon. The original plan did not include EV charging but an amendment here shows the addition of two EV charging stalls.
Given the key highway location a bit disappointing that it is only two stalls.
The second is for Goulburn in the north area of the town. The DA is no longer on exhibition but it is for an OTR service station. The electric vehicle charging location is shown as two stalls on the plan here in the bottom left.
Exhibition of plan start started during week of 30 Jan 2023. Not sure when it finished and would be now under some stage of assessment.
This seems to be a local service station not intended for highway traffic. It is in the north part of town well away from the main road through town and on a fairly minor road out of town only really for locals going to Crookwell or those wanting a scenic winding route through to Bathurst.
I think it is good to see even a new local service station getting EV charging stalls right from the planning stage here and here two is probably appropriate.
These are likely BP Pulse sites though OTR chain is a bit unusual in that they use different fuel providers at different times. A lot of thier exisiting sites are BP branded fuel, some are OTR fuel branded and a few of the newer ones are Caltex branded fuel outlets, the new Caltex brand not the old Caltex that reverted to Ampol.
Not sure if all the current BP Pulse sites are BP owned stores or if some are there franchised stores. Will be interesting to see which network these EV chargers end up being. The Yass one might end up being soon enough now that at least site prep has started, the Goulburn one is not yet approved and sometimes these things languish and other times move on quick enough.
