Australia's biggest electric vehicle charging company eyes nation-linking network | rharris334

Australia's largest public electric vehicle charging network has announced an ambitious plan to grow its ultra-rapid sites to more than 100, linking up the eastern seaboard in a bid to increase consumer demand.

The industry predicts consumer uptake will increase throughout the rest of 2019 and into 2020 as model availability increases while prices continue to fall towards parity with fuel cars during the next three years.The issue was turbo-charged during the federal election campaign as the Morrison government aggressively criticised Labor's election pledge that half of all new cars sold in 2030 would be electric.

A further roll out of stations connecting Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, powered by renewable energy, including on-site solar, is likely to be completed over the coming year. Every site will have at least two parking bays equipped with 350kW capable Tritium and ABB chargers. Select sites will feature two additional Tritium 50kW chargers.

He said the network would go a long way to solving the eternal "chicken or the egg" problem the industry has faced until now.
