WA EV Network

Western Australia’s electric vehicle (EV) network has been constructed and is the longest State charging network in Australia stretching from Kununurra in the north, to Esperance in the south and east to Mundrabilla.

In Progress

In addition to reducing WA’s emissions, the EV network makes it more convenient for people to make the switch to an EV and travel across WA, including inter-regional and long-distance journeys.

Key Stats

49

locations from Mundrabilla at the South Australian border to Kununurra in the far north of Western Australia.

110

EV charging stations to be available across Western Australia.

30%

less greenhouse gas emissions produced by EVs charged using the State’s main electricity grid, compared to conventional petrol vehicles.

$23m

contributed to build WA’s EV network.

Features of the WA EV Network

Fast and ultra-fast chargers have been installed, making it easier for you to switch to an EV and enjoy the confidence of being able to charge your EV across the State.

This includes 110 EV charging stations across 49 locations. Our EV network stretches from Kununurra in the north, right down to Esperance in the south and east to Mundrabilla.

EVs will become greener as Synergy replaces its coal generators with renewable wind, solar and batteries. EVs can also be considerably cleaner if charged from your home rooftop solar.

What are the benefits of EVs?

  • They’re more energy efficient and generally cheaper to maintain than traditional petrol or diesel vehicles.
  • They improve our air quality with less emissions and reduce noise pollution.
  • Creating local jobs through the construction of the network and development of renewable energy infrastructure in Western Australia.

WA is planning for the increase of EVs on our roads, ensuring everyone has ongoing reliable and efficient charging through initiatives like the Charge Up grant schemes for local governments, SME's and not-for-profit organisations; and more affordable access to EVs through the Zero Emission Vehicle Rebate.
