Council Capacity Building Funding Round
Eligible councils can apply for funding to help overcome capacity constraints that have limited council ability to accelerate the rollout of kerbside EV charging.
The Electric Vehicle (EV) Kerbside Charging Program supports the rollout of kerbside EV chargers in NSW. These publicly available chargers provide EV drivers that have limited access to private off-street parking with convenient, local charging options and the confidence that an EV is a suitable and well-supported purchase.
The program supports the rollout of kerbside charging in NSW through:
- grant funding for EV charging infrastructure
- support for council capacity building and knowledge sharing
- development of kerbside charging resources for councils and industry
- supporting updates to EV charging planning approval pathways in NSW
- communicating the regulatory requirements for kerbside charging in NSW.

Previous funding
Rounds 1 and 2 of Electric Vehicle Kerbside Charging grants saw the NSW Government award $6.9 million in funding to install over 1,000 kerbside charge ports across 38 local government areas in NSW and we’re now busy building the largest public kerbside EV charging network in Australia.
