Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity at an unprecedented rate in New South Wales (NSW). In the first half of 2023, EV purchases accounted for a remarkable 8% of all new car sales. With this surge, the demand for EV charging infrastructure has never been more critical, especially in residential areas. What's even more remarkable is that approximately 80-90% of EV owners prefer to charge their vehicles at home, whether they reside in single dwellings or apartment buildings. In a state where 15% of the population lives in apartments and nearly 84,000 strata schemes exist, the race to make apartment buildings EV-ready is in full swing.
Recognising this growing need and the incredible potential of EVs, the NSW Government has introduced a visionary co-funding initiative to retrofit existing apartment buildings, making them EV-ready. The heart of this initiative is the "NSW EV Ready Buildings Grant," offering a substantial $10 million to support eligible apartment buildings in assessing and installing EV infrastructure upgrades.
