An EV charger can get your business on the map. Literally. 

More and more drivers are switching to electric vehicles (EVs) and they’re planning their trips around EV charging locations.  

We’re investing $20 million to assist eligible regional NSW businesses and councils by co-funding the purchase and installation of EV chargers at your site. This funding was made available under our electric vehicle destination charging grant.   

Hear about the growing number of businesses that are already plugged in 

Businesses across regional NSW have already taken advantage of the grant. With up to 75% of their costs covered, they now have chargers in the ground and the stories to show for it.
