First OTR 350kW EV Fast Chargers Activated in NSW

Viva Energy Australia has announced the launch of a new multi-350kW ultra-fast charging EV site at Reddy Express in Mt Annan, NSW, increasing the number of service station sites in Australia equipped with fast EV chargers.

OTR EV Mount Annan features 4 CCS2 charging plugs, each capable of delivering upto 350kW of power, with charging services accessible through the new OTR EV app.

The cost of EV charging at a Shell Recharge location using the OTR EV app is 70c/kWh, with an idle fee of $1/min after 10min grace period and an optional $4 reservation fee.

A $25 preauthorisation charge is applied for all sessions, with unused funds released based on the cost of the charging session and whether it is above or below $25 in total.

Viva Energy will install the blueberry chargers at 30 Shell Reddy Express and Shell OTR sites in NSW thanks to co-funding from the NSW government Dec 2023 Round 2 EV Fast Charging grants.

Christian Hewitt Director & Chief Sales Officer at EV-NRG commented
that the design of the blueberry CLUSTER 500kW enables completely dynamic power sharing, enabling charge point operators to have a higher throughput of vehicles and giving drivers the best possible charging speeds.

zecar's Neerav Bhatt spoke with Christian Hewitt and was shown a demonstration of an OTR EV charging session on a 350kW blueberry charger, at the recent Everything Electric Sydney 2025.

Sandra Lau, Head of Hydrogen & EVs at Viva Energy, commented: "Our team has worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life, ensuring we deliver fast seamless charging with an exceptional customer convenience offer."
