EV Destination Charging Grants

As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates across New South Wales, Lismore businesses have a unique opportunity to attract this growing segment of eco-conscious consumers by installing EV chargers. The NSW Government is facilitating this transition through initiatives like the EV Destination Charging Grants.

Benefits of hosting an EV charger:

  • Attract new visitors: EV drivers plan their journeys around charging stops, often choosing locations where they can dine, shop, or relax while their vehicles charge. By offering charging facilities, your business becomes a convenient stop, drawing in customers who might not have visited otherwise.
  • Increase dwell time and sales: Charging sessions provide time for customers to engage with your offerings, whether it's enjoying a meal, purchasing products, or exploring services, leading to increased sales and customer satisfaction.
  • Enhance sustainability credentials: Demonstrating a commitment to sustainable practices can boost your business's reputation and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.

How to get involved:

  1. Register your interest: The NSW Government is connecting businesses with credible Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to establish a comprehensive EV charging network. By registering your interest, you signal your readiness to participate and may be contacted by a CPO to assess your site’s suitability.
  2. Assess site suitability: CPOs will evaluate factors such as location, accessibility, and existing infrastructure to determine the feasibility of installing a charger at your site.
  3. Installation and operation: If selected, the CPO will manage the installation, operation, and maintenance of the charging station, ensuring minimal disruption to your business operations.

Take the next step:

Embracing EV charging infrastructure not only aligns your business with the future of transportation but also opens doors to new customer segments and revenue streams. To explore this opportunity, visit the NSW Government’s Climate and Energy Action website and register your interest in hosting an EV charger.

By participating in this initiative, Lismore businesses can lead the charge towards a sustainable future, benefiting both the community and the environment.
