EV Charging Funding Program for workshops

The Government’s DRIVEN Charger Grant Stream gives organisations funding to build new public fast electric vehicle charging stations at automotive businesses and/or EV repairer sites.

The objectives of the DRIVEN Charger Grant Stream are to:

• Deliver charging stations at automotive dealership and EV repairer premises
• Encourage installation of charging stations in regional areas of Australia
• Support automotive dealerships and EV repairers looking to host charging stations
• Facilitate partnerships between Australian automotive dealerships or EV repairers and EV charging businesses (e.g. Charge Point Operators)

How Much Can You Receive?

The level of funding available depends on where your proposed stations are located:

• Metropolitan zones: up to 50% of eligible expenditure per charging station
• Regional and journey enablement zones: up to 80% of eligible expenditure per charging station

Eligible expenditure includes EV supply equipment, civil works, electricity network connections, installation activities and on-site battery storage.
