What is being proposed?
Two experienced EV Charge Point Operators (CPOs) — ChargePost and Plus ES — have received NSW Government funding to install on-street pole-mounted chargers across Ku-ring-gai.
On-street EV charging refers to chargers installed directly on the street, usually at the kerbside or on power poles.
These chargers will:
- Be fully funded by NSW Government and CPO Operators — no cost to Council or ratepayers
- Operate on a user-pays model, with prices set by the provider
- Be located in areas where people typically park for 2+ hours
- Be installed in existing public parking spaces
- Provide up to 22 kW of power
- Use Type 2 connectors (bring your own cable)
- Be a single or dual bay charger, depending on the location.
Why is this project happening?
Electric vehicle ownership is growing rapidly across Ku-ring-gai, with many residents making the switch to cleaner, more efficient transport. As of July 2025, more than 1 in 20 vehicles in Ku-ring-gai are now electric – more than three times the state average. However, not everyone has access to home charging — especially:
- Apartment or townhouse residents
- Renters without garage access
- Households with only on-street parking
- Visitors to the area
On-street EV charging will help close this gap, making EV use more accessible to all residents.
