Charging the Regions 2

Picture
Driving off the major highways into regional Victoria is now much easier for Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers thanks to a new network of electric vehicle charging stations.

The Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance (CVGA) worked in partnership with 13 local councils and the Victorian Government to roll out a network of public EV charging infrastructure. In addition to council contributions, the CVGA received funding under the State government's stimulus package to address the Electric Vehicle charging station gaps identified in our
Charging the Regions Case Study project. The funding fast tracked investment in key towns to ensure there is a dense network of charging stations in the Mallee and Loddon Campaspe region, as well as other regions in Victoria.

The project installed a mix of DC fast chargers, located on council land and in locations identified in collaboration with participating councils. In total, 23 electric vehicle charging stations were installed across our partner councils.
