This partnership with the NSW Government will add 26 new charging sites (2-4 bays per location, 80 new EV charging bays total) to these local council areas: Mosman, Lane Cove, Ku-ring-gai, Woollahra, Randwick and North Sydney.

Evie is the only fast charging network that successfully applied for grant funding from the NSW Government Kerbside EV Charging Program.

These new fast charging sites will take the total number of Evie charging bays in NSW to 294, and to over 1,000 fast charging bays across Australia by the end of 2024.

In keeping with Evie's commitment to providing a convenient fast-charging experience, these sites will typically feature 75kWh chargers, providing fast and efficient charging for busy EV drivers.

Evie Networks CEO Chris Mills commented

"Evie remains steadfast in our commitment to providing an unparalleled fast charging network, with a special emphasis on densely populated Sydney council areas. Evie’s fast chargers ensure that EV drivers facing challenges with off-street parking have expanded options for charging their vehicles swiftly and conveniently."

"These new sites will not only cater to the growing community of EV drivers but also instil confidence in those considering the transition to an EV lifestyle".

zecar Analysis

In late April 2024 Tritium DCFC Limited determined that the Company and three of its Australian subsidiaries, Tritium Pty Ltd, Tritium Holdings Pty Ltd and Tritium Nominee Pty Ltd were insolvent or likely to become insolvent so they appointed KPMG as Voluntary Administrator.

It is not yet clear whether the charger hardware for these new Evie locations will be manufactured by Tritium or another brand such as Kempower, ABB etc.

This choice will be interesting as Evie and Tritum have a common financial backer and so far all public chargers installed by Evie have been Tritium.

It is also not clear whether all charging ports are CCS or whether some will also be the obsolete CHAdeMO used by a tiny fraction of Australian EV drivers (mostly Nissan Leaf owners).

Evie Networks has been invited to comment on the Tritium and CCS vs CHAdeMO issues, this post will update if we receive answers to either query.
