Kerbside EV Charger Locations

What is being proposed?

Council is exploring the installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargers in public places as part of its Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

The chargers are being installed by private operators, Plus ES, with the support of funding from the NSW Government. Plus ES were successful in obtaining funding as part of the government’s broader package of $4.1million to install 671 EV charging ports at 391 sites across 16 Local Government Areas (LGAs), with the intent of providing convenient charging options for drivers in high density and busy metro areas. The chargers will all utilise 100% renewable energy.

PLUS ES has identified several sites in the Lane Cove Council Area for potential installation of kerbside EV charge stations on Ausgrid power poles, including:

Residents in the vicinity of proposed locations where a parking restriction will be introduced (ie. three locations highlighted above) have recently received a letter seeking their feedback on the proposal of the following:

• 396 Mowbray Rd W, Lane Cove North: Installation of an EV Charger on Ausgrid pole Number GL90895. This will involve changing approximately one car length of the current unrestricted parking to "2P; 8Am – 6PM; EV Charging ONLY".
• 626 Mowbray Rd W, Lane Cove North: Installation of an EV Charger on Ausgrid pole Number GL36899. This will involve changing approximately one car length of the current unrestricted parking to "2P; 8Am – 6PM; EV Charging ONLY".
• 43 Little St, Lane Cove: : Installation of an EV Charger on Ausgrid pole Number GL71792. This will involve changing approximately one car length of the current unrestricted parking to "2P; 8Am – 6PM; EV Charging ONLY".

The other seven locations do not require any changes to existing parking arrangements; EV chargers will be available for use as and when the space becomes available.

Benefits of the proposal

• Promotes sustainable transport.
• Enhances convenience for EV owners.
• Supports infrastructure development.
• Engages community and raises awareness.
• Stimulates economic growth in clean tech.
