(5) How many public chargers does the Government plan to provide by 2030.

Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Government has allocated $1,287,500 to the 50 chargers project to support the installation of publicly accessible charging infrastructure. The final cost of installation for these 50 charging stations is not known at this time as a procurement process is underway.

(2) Vehicle charging duration is dependent on a number of factors, including; the specific vehicle model, the vehicle’s state of charge, and the type of charger being used.

(3) The ACT Government has not set a usage target for the chargers. The ACT Public Electric Vehicles (EV) Charging Outlook, shows that demand for 50 chargers is expected to be exceeded by financial year 2024, indicating that high future usage is forecast.

(4) Public chargers will not be owned or operated by the ACT Government. The ACT Government will require that the chargers be publicly accessible, however; pricing for provision of charging services will be at the discretion of charging providers.

(5) The ACT Government has committed to provide funding to support the installation of 50 publicly available chargers. Future considerations will be informed by the rate of electric vehicle uptake and whether there is a need for additional government intervention to boost charging station availability.
