On 9 May, the NSW Government announced that a $20 million fund had been established to roll out 3,500 electric car chargers throughout regional NSW. Under the scheme, the government will cover the up to 75% of the cost of up to four EV ‘destination’ chargers per site for successful applicants, as well as 50% of the cost of a two-year charging software subscription. To make the deal even sweeter, auto manufacturer MG has announced it will cover the remaining 25% of the cost of the charger for successful applicants who show proof of purchase of their MG ChargeHub product. That means successful applicants will receive: 75% subsidisation of the cost of buying up to four alternating current (AC) destination chargers per site location 75% subsidisation of the cost of charger installation (up to $1000 per charger) 50% subsidisation of the cost of a two-year charger software subscription, and – thanks to MG – The remaining 25% of the cost of buying up to four MG ChargeHub chargers. This comes as part of the NSW Electric Vehicle Strategy, which aims to increase EV sales in Australia to 52% of all new car sales by 2030-31, and a majority figure by 2035.
