Sydney based electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure company EVX says it expects to deliver over half of the new kerbside chargers that the New South Wales government announced last week.
NSW says it would commit $2.8 million to support the delivery of more than 500 new kerbside EV chargers across the state, with the money to be distributed to five different recipients, including three Australian companies and two from the UK, who are together contributing a further $2.2 million in private investment to install the kerbside chargers.
The five recipients are Charge Post, Connected Kerb, Plus ES, EF Asset Management, and EVX.
EVX says it will deliver 278 new kerbside chargers, specifically its Australian-designed and -made pole-mounted EV chargers.
“Convenient access to EV chargers remains a big challenge for EV drivers in some of Sydney’s most well-established and densely populated suburbs, also having the potential to put-off many potential EV owners in these areas for lack of charging infrastructure,” said Andrew Forster, EVX CEO.
“Thanks to our previous and extensive deployments across NSW, we have developed an efficient and rapidly scalable approach to the deployment of kerbside charging infrastructure which delivers value to drivers and communities.”
EVX pole-mounted chargers will be installed across 13 local council areas including Bayside, Parramatta, Ryde, Newcastle, Northern Beaches, and the City of Sydney.

Congrats EVX - love your work! (and your chargers…)
So I don’t see how these things work. Does it mean that the resident loses their right to a parking spot? How fast is the charging? Is it AC or DC? What sort of cost is involved for charging?
They don't have dedicated EV parking. That's why they need to have a lot of them - so that even if blocked by ICE cars, as long as you have a long enough cable an EV might be able to park close enough to charge.
They are AC only, hence why they can roll out a lot of them as they are cheaper.
Right now it's 50c/kWh and 39c/kWh from 8pm-7am. Cheaper than most DC fastchargers but not by much.
