Australia's charging network is growing at an exponential rate, but gaps remain. Here is the current state of play.
The Big Players
Chargefox and Evie Networks dominate the non-Tesla space, rapidly expanding ultra-rapid (350kW) sites on major highways. Meanwhile, Tesla has opened select Superchargers to non-Tesla EVs, instantly boosting capacity for all drivers.
Regional vs. Urban
While capital cities are well-served, regional Australia is still playing catch-up. The NRMA's regional network has been a pioneer here, but reliability issues persist at some older sites.
Future Outlook
With government funding pouring into the "National EV Charging Network," the goal is to have a fast charger every 150km on major highways. By 2025, the "charging desert" map will look very different.
