Key Points
- EnergyAustralia and 7-Eleven are installing 10 ultra-fast EV chargers across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland over the next 24 months.
- Each charger delivers 200kW or 400kW, enabling a 20% to 80% charge in as little as 12 to 15 minutes.
- The first site is already operational at 250 Bridgewater Road, Roxburgh Park in Melbourne's north.
EnergyAustralia, one of Australia's three largest privately owned energy utilities, has partnered with 7-Eleven to install 10 ultra-fast EV charging stations at convenience stores across Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. The first charger is already live at a site in Melbourne's north, with the full rollout to be completed over the next 24 months.
The partnership targets a practical barrier to EV adoption: the availability of fast, reliable public charging at locations Australians already visit regularly. More than 156,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were sold in Australia in 2025, a 38 per cent increase on the year before.
Charger specs and charging speed
Each site will feature either a 200kW or 400kW ultra-fast DC charger. At those power levels, drivers can charge from 20 per cent to 80 per cent capacity in as little as 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the vehicle's onboard charging capability.

New South Wales | 4 | Within 24 months |
Queensland | 3 | Within 24 months |
How to access the chargers
Drivers can access the chargers in two ways: via the Chargefox app, or by tapping a credit card directly at the unit. Chargefox is Australia's largest EV charging network, owned and operated by the country's motoring clubs.
All locations will be listed on PlugShare, a free app used by EV drivers worldwide to find charging stations, check availability, and read reviews.
Supporting EV sales growth
More than 156,000 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were sold in Australia in 2025, a 38 per cent jump on the year before, according to the Electric Vehicle Council. Despite that growth, range anxiety and charging convenience remain cited barriers to broader EV uptake.
"Range anxiety and charging inconvenience remain real barriers to EV take-up in Australia," said Jack Kotlyar, Head of Green Transport at EnergyAustralia. "Putting fast, reliable charging stations at locations people already know and visit regularly means topping up can become as natural as stopping for fuel has always been."
