First EV Charger Arrives In Bulleen

Manningham Council

Our first electric vehicle (EV) charging station is now live in Bulleen!

The EV charger is at 178-180 Bulleen Road in Bulleen, at the corner of Austin Street.

This location was chosen as it's close to commercial, recreational and tourist destinations, and has access to a reliable power supply.

Powered by renewable energy, this Jolt fast charger features the Combined Charging System (CCS), which is the industry-standard connector for EVs in Australia.

How many EVs can charge at this location?

There is one charger, servicing 2 parking bays. This lets 2 EVs charge at once!

The parking bays are designated only for EV charging.

How much does the charging cost?

The charger allows 7kWh of free daily charge (up to 50km of range), with additional charge costing $0.62 per kWh.

Where's next?

This charging station is part of a broader rollout of 9 public EV charging stations across Manningham.

The next EV charger to be installed will be in Doncaster East (near Devon Plaza), and is scheduled for October. Donburn Village is expected to follow shortly after that.
