NSW EV charging grants, scoped and installed
The NSW Government has put $16.5 million into new EV chargers: $5 million for kerbside and car park charging, and $11.5 million for fleets. The grant covers part of the cost. The supply, switchboard and network work decides whether a funded site gets built on time, and that is our trade.
Two grants, different rules on who applies
The kerbside money only goes to charge point operators. The fleet money goes to the business running the vehicles. Either way, the application needs a costed scope from an installer who has checked the site.
From the NSW Government announcement of 19 September 2026 and the Round 3 program page, checked 28 September 2026. Grant rules change, so confirm on the Round 3 page and the announcement before you apply.
Three ways into the funding
Charge point operators bidding for Round 3
Your bid is only as good as the sites in it. We check supply at each candidate site before you commit it, price the whole scope including upgrades and civil works, and give you a delivery programme you can put in the application.
Once funded, we lodge the network applications with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy and build across Central, Southern and South Western Sydney.
Commercial car park owners
For the first time, chargers in commercial car parks can be co-funded. Shopping centres, clubs, pubs, dealerships and fast food sites are all candidates. You can't apply yourself, but an operator can apply to put chargers on your site.
An operator will want to know what your site can take. We assess your supply and switchboard first, so you know what your car park can take before you talk to them.
Fleets of 21 or more vehicles
You apply for this one directly. We give you what the application needs: a site assessment, a charger count modelled against your run sheets, and a costed scope including any supply upgrade.

Application-ready scope, then the build
Most EV installers stop at the charger and call an electrician for everything else. On grant projects the supply and network work sets the timeline, so it has to be priced properly from the start.

Can a business apply for the NSW kerbside and car park EV charging grant?
No. Round 3 is only open to charge point operators. Commercial car park owners take part by hosting chargers that an operator applies for, installs and runs.
How much funding is available per charger?
Kerbside and car park sites: up to $6,000 per AC port and $30,000 per DC fast charging port, with grants from $100,000 to $1,000,000. Fleets: up to $2,000 per AC port and $8,000 per DC fast charging port.
When does Round 3 close?
21 December 2026 at 5 pm. DC sites that need a network connection typically take three to four months, driven mainly by network approvals, so site and supply checks are worth doing now.
Who can get the NSW fleet charging funding?
Businesses, not-for-profits and councils running at least 21 passenger vehicles, SUVs, vans, utes and small trucks up to 4.5 tonnes. It was announced on 19 September 2026. Guidelines and dates are still to be confirmed.
Will you help with our grant application?
Yes. We provide the site assessment, charger specification, costed scope and delivery programme the application needs. You, or your charge point operator, submit it.
Do grant-funded chargers need renewable electricity?
The announcement says funded charging sites must use 100 per cent renewable electricity. Check the program guidelines for how that applies to your project. If you want on-site solar and battery alongside the chargers, we design and install that too.
