More electric vehicle charging stations will soon be delivered across regional NSW, allowing drivers to extend their travel across the state.
The NSW Government and the NRMA will deliver at least 20 additional electric vehicle fast chargers to the existing regional network along NSW’s major highways.
The first two charging stations will be installed in Wagga Wagga and Yass in September 2020. This will help complete the rollout of charging stations on both the Sturt and Hume highways.
Electric vehicle drivers will be no more than 150km from a charging station once the regional network is completed by 2020. This will allow people to travel to Broken Hill, Moree and Bourke, and link up to major routes in Queensland, Victoria and South Australia.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Paul Toole, said the additional charging stations will open regional NSW up to electric vehicle owners.
“The extended network will help further support the regional tourism economy and promote local investment in regional centres along the Newell, Barrier, New England, and Kamilaroi highways,” Mr Toole said.
