Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Minister Paul Toole said the NSW Government has partnered with the NRMA to deliver at least 20 additional electric vehicle fast chargers to the existing regional network along the State’s major highways.
“These additional charging stations are part of a $3 million co-funded investment to deliver greener and cleaner travel. This will help create the most comprehensive regional charging network in the country, opening regional NSW up to electric vehicle owners,” Mr Toole said.
“The extended network will help further support the regional tourism economy and promote local investment in regional centres along the Newell, Barrier, New England, and Kamilaroi highways.
“In most cases, EV drivers will be no more than 150 kilometres from an EV charging station once the network is completed by 2022. This will allow people to travel to Broken Hill, Moree and Bourke, and to link up with major routes in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia."
The first two charging stations will be installed in Wagga Wagga and Yass in September.
