Autel has installed more than 10,000 charge points across Australian homes and businesses. Its chargers now also serve major retailers, providing charging facilities for delivery vehicles and customers.
IKEA Australia
IKEA Australia has built a national $4.5 million charging network with JetCharge, Autel's primary installation and infrastructure partner in Australia. By October 2025, 83% of IKEA's Australian deliveries were zero-emission, up from 5% in 2022. More than 100 electric delivery vehicles now charge at IKEA sites.
The network serves two key groups: delivery partners and customers.
Delivery vehicles
IKEA's deliveries are carried out by partner companies: ANC Delivers in Victoria, Kings Transport in NSW and All Purpose Transport in Queensland. IKEA's zero-emission delivery lead, Alexandra Kelly, has said about 98% of delivery vehicles in Australia are owned by small businesses and subcontractors, not retailers. Those operators work on thin margins. Few could fund their own depot charging, so IKEA built it for them.
DC fast chargers, ranging from 50 kW to 160 kW depending on the site, give partners quick top-ups at the point where orders are picked up.
Customers
IKEA also provides customer charging at most of its stores. Customer visits are longer, so slower AC chargers fit. Ikea’s onsite AC chargers typically deliver 7 kW to 22 kW, depending on the vehicle's onboard charging capability. A full charge would take anywhere from 3 to 9 hours depending on vehicle model. Use zecar’s EV charging calculator to check how long your EV model takes to charge.
Customers can find IKEA charging locations on PlugShare. The table below lists the stores where customers can charge their electric car.

Woolworths Australia
Autel chargers are also deployed at Woolworths sites in Australia, where they are available to customers. Woolworths stores offer a mix of AC and DC charging options from as slow as 7kW AC to 200 kW DC respectively. This means getting a top up of 400km in as little as 20 minutes.
Customers pay through the Chargefox app, which is open to all EV drivers, not only Woolworths shoppers. Everyday Rewards members can link their account in the app and earn one point per dollar spent charging at participating sites. Points don't apply to idle fees, and they aren't earned on credit card terminal payments or at free stations.

Woolworths New Zealand, Penrose
Across the Tasman, Autel DC chargers are used at the new Woolworths New Zealand charging hub at the Penrose eStore in Auckland.
The hub opened on 7 August with 15 fast-charging bays. It is built for the company's home delivery trucks. Woolworths NZ's electric delivery fleet grew from three trucks in November 2025 to 27 by August 2026. It expects 57 electric trucks nationwide by the end of June 2027, and all 42 delivery trucks based at Penrose are due to be electric in 2027.
