The Tritium RTM fast chargers are expected to be deployed over
the next two years at 158 different destinations, with two chargers
available at each site. At 50kW, the chargers can add up to 50
kilometres (31 miles) of range to an EV in 10 minutes.
“It’s fantastic to see this scale of charging infrastructure
being deployed in Australia - it will help reduce range anxiety and
encourage EV uptake, which is lagging behind other developed
countries,” said Tritium CEO Jane Hunter. “We’re very pleased to
see federal government support for the rollout of electric vehicle
charging infrastructure. While the e-mobility industry does not
require subsidies to support the transition from petrol cars to
EVs, it benefits greatly from governments indicating their support
for the change via policy statements, which enables public
confidence when buying a new car.”
Evie Networks, an Australian fast charging network, was recently
awarded funds from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (“ARENA”)
Future Fuels Fund. Evie Networks was announced as the top funding
recipient and the only company to win financing in all eight of
Australia’s states and territories. The new chargers will be partly
funded by this award.
“This is a huge vote of confidence for the team,” said Evie
Networks CEO Chris Mills. “This expansion across all of Australia’s
capital cities will accelerate access to quality fast EV charging
for more Australians. Our sites will be prepared for the future
with this advanced and upgradeable technology from Tritium.”
