Electric vehicle charging stations
Eastern Suburbs EV Infrastructure Strategy
Transport in Randwick contributes 25% of the LGA’s greenhouse gas emissions, many of these emissions are from residential passenger vehicles. Electric vehicles (EV) and other electric transport modes, such as e-bikes, provide a pathway to decarbonise the transport sector when powered by renewable energy.
Council supports and encourages the uptake and use of EVs to help meet our community greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 60% by 2030, while also reducing, noise and air pollution.
Eastern Suburbs Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy
In 2023, Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick Councils published Leading the Charge: Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy, outlining the vision and infrastructure required to meet growing numbers of EVs on our roads with 35,000 projected to be registered across the LGAS by 2030.
To cater for this demand, additional public chargers will continue to be installed across Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick. The chargers will be funded through government, residential and private sector investment, with the type of chargers installed determined by the average length of stay and surrounding urban form.
The Eastern Suburbs Charger Network
In 2019, the 3-Councils were the first in NSW to establish a network of Council owned and operated public charging stations throughout the region. These charging stations are available on the Chargefox app. More information about their locations, pricing, and user guide is available on the Chargefox app.
NSW Kerbside Charging Grants
The NSW Kerbside Charging Grants, which began in 2024, co-funds the installation of public electric vehicle charging stations across NSW. The aim of the grants is to assist the 1 in 3 drivers in NSW which do not have access to off-street parking to charge an electric vehicle.
