Residents and tourists with an electric vehicle (EV) can now charge their vehicle in Jurien Bay.
The new EV charger links Perth to Northampton. It is conveniently located at the Murray Street Road Reserve, near the Indian Ocean Drive shopping complex.
The EV charging site features a DC 150 kilowatt fast charger, allowing drivers to top up their EVs in as little as 20 minutes, and a back-up AC 7.6kW charger.
Synergy delivered the fast charger in collaboration with the Shire of Dandaragan, to ensure a fast and enjoyable user experience.
WA EV Network charging stations are now operational across 11 locations across the State, including Kings Park, Carnarvon, Broome and Albany.
Synergy EV charging sites are opening soon in Southern Cross and Coolgardie, while Horizon Power is expected to deliver EV charging sites in Exmouth, Karratha, Esperance and Denham.
The WA EV Network will be the longest in Australia, with 98 EV charging stations across 49 locations. It will stretch over 7,000km, from Kununurra in the north, to Esperance in the south and east to Eucla.
The $21 million WA EV Network is part of the State Government's Electric Vehicle Strategy for Western Australia.
