With the increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road, Essential Energy is committed to supporting transport electrification within our communities by enabling pole-mounted chargers across our network footprint, where the chargers will be owned and operated by Asset Charge (an Electric Future company). Our trial partner Electric Future, will install 20 EV chargers on existing power poles across Bathurst Regional Council, Byron Shire Council, Dubbo Regional Council, MidCoast Council and Tweed Shire Council.
The EV chargers are owned and operated by an independent third-party Charge Point Operator, under a subsidised arrangement with Essential Energy to facilitate the trial.
These chargers, known as Destination Chargers, range from 7kW to 22kW and are effective for topping up EVs or providing an overnight charge. Depending on the vehicle, users can expect an increase of approximately 40 to 100 km of range per hour of charging.
Essential Energy and Electric Future have worked with local councils to select suitable site locations and parking designations and aim to have the charging stations installed by November 2025. The chargers use a Type 2 connection, requiring users to bring their own leads and plug into the charger, with activation and payment managed through the Everty app.
Running for two years, this trial aims to understand how pole-mounted EV charging can support growing EV adoption and help achieve national climate change goals. The trial will also help identify which types of chargers are best suited to different locations, which options are cost-effective, and how regional communities feel about EV charging infrastructure.
