Electric vehicle charging company JOLT has commenced a partnership with Transport for NSW and is rolling out 50 streetside EV charging stations across Greater Sydney transport locations such as train stations and commuter carparks.
“We want to make NSW the easiest state to own an electric vehicle by increasing the number of chargers from 1000 to 30,000 during the next three years,” says NSW Treasurer Matt Kean.
“By 2030, we expect 50 per cent of new car sales to be EVs and we need to start expanding the infrastructure to make it as easy as possible for EV drivers.
“We want all drivers to recharge whenever and wherever they need to, whether it’s on a road trip, commuting to work or at home.”
Across the JOLT EV charging network, electric vehicle drivers can access 7kWh of free charging per day, providing 40-50km of range for a 15-20-minute charging time.
“JOLT chargers are located in select metropolitan areas to help resolve barriers to EV uptake: cost, range anxiety and charging infrastructure,” says JOLT CEO Doug McNamee.
“Through the expansion of fast chargers across the Transport for NSW network, JOLT provides EV drivers with convenient access to free, fast and clean EV charging.”
