New public EV charging station for Gungahlin

Gungahlin has another public EV charging station in Gungahlin, at the Amaroo Village Shopping Centre.

The charging station is in the shopping centreโ€™s car park, at shop 1, 11 Pioneer Street, Amaroo.

This charging station was introduced by ActewAGL, in partnership with Evie Networks, and was funded as part of the ACT Governmentโ€™s Public EV Charging Infrastructure Fund. It contributes to the Governmentโ€™s commitment to have 180 public EV chargers available in the ACT by 2025.

Users can effortlessly charge their car at the chargers via the Evie Networks charging app.

Featuring 22kW dual-port wall-mounted EV chargers, the station can simultaneously accommodate up to four electric vehicles, making charging at the shopping centre a breeze. The chargers offer a practical option for EV owners for when they are shopping or do not have access to charging at their residence.

ActewAGL says its public charging network, launched as a pilot in 2016, has evolved into a more significant and reliable service โ€“ 97 per cent are available on the Evie Networks platform, ensuring consistent EV charging access for the community.

Rachael Turner, ActewAGL retail general manager, said this charging station demonstrates continued commitment to the move to renewable electricity.

โ€œWe are pleased to partner with Evie Networks in bringing Gungahlin this public charging station,โ€ Ms Turner said. โ€œWith several more stations planned for the coming months, our goal is to establish a robust charging network that includes fast chargers, making EV adoption more attractive in the region.โ€

In partnership with Evie Networks, ActewAGL is expanding and upgrading its EV public charging network in Canberra and surrounds. By the end of this year, there will be 15 charging stations facilitating 27 simultaneous charging sessions.

โ€œActewAGL is taking a strong position on improving the sustainability of transport, with a commitment to help the local community achieve one in four households with an EV by 2030,โ€ Ms Turner said. โ€œAn extensive, reliable, fast-charging network, powered by clean energy, is giving drivers even more reason to switch to an EV.โ€
