The future of electric vehicle (EV) charging in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is poised for significant transformation as the region anticipates a surge in public EV chargers registrations. By 2030, the ACT is projected to require between 600 to 1,000 public EV chargers chargers, a substantial increase from fewer than 60 in 2021. This demand is driven by an expected rise in registered EVs, which could reach 25,000 to 42,000 by 2030, up from just 1,300 in 2021

Investment Opportunities in Charging Infrastructure
Infrastructure Needs
The ACT's charging infrastructure must expand rapidly to support the growing number of EVs. The shift towards electrification necessitates not only more public EV chargers but also investment in high-power fast charging stations.
The development of charging networks will be crucial for alleviating range anxiety among potential EV buyers and ensuring that the infrastructure keeps pace with vehicle adoption rates.
