About Us_AfMA BTS_789.jpg

Electric vehicles are transforming the way we move, offering cleaner transport and a major step toward a net‑zero future. As more drivers make the switch, we’re preparing the electricity network to support reliable, convenient charging across our communities. 

Ausgrid needs to facilitate this shift towards EV adoption and a net-zero future, but do it in a way that is fully supported by the electricity grid.

Ultimately, we want to ensure that any individual or company seeking to go electric, no matter how complex their needs, can do so.

Watch how we're driving electrification 

Electric vehicle charging is one of the many ways we're supporting electrification. Ausgrid's Head of Electric Vehicle Charging & Infrastructure, Nick Black, spoke with Drive TV, sharing his insights about our commitment to EV technology and how we’re working towards a more sustainable future.

Kerbside charging

We’re working with charging providers to install kerbside chargers on poles and kiosks.

Australia's future needs

Australia currently averages about 76 electric vehicles for every public charging point, one of the highest ratios globally and a clear signal that infrastructure needs to scale fast.

Expanding our sustainable fleet

Ausgrid's electric vehicle fleet expansion has surpassed 100 electric vehicles, our latest step to achieving 900 Ausgrid vans, cars, and trucks by 2029.

EV charging

Electric vehicles have advanced significantly, with most modern EVs averaging a range of 400 km, which comfortably exceeds the average daily commute distance of 33km in Sydney.

Ausgrid's EV future

We aim to install 11,000 public kerbside EV chargers on Ausgrid assets by 2030 to support approximately 800,000 customers in our network area who have limited opportunities to install their own EV charging systems.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) standards

V2G is an emerging technology that allows electric vehicles to draw from and also supply power to the grid in compliance with Australian and Ausgrid standards.
