A new public electric vehicle charging station offering two fast chargers with potential for more is now online in Braddon.

ActewAGL has partnered with national charging company Evie Networks to install the station in the Arte Braddon car park at 10 Lonsdale Street.

The energy company says that with its powerful 75 kW capacity, the new fast charger takes away the potential stress of running out of battery on the way home.

The DC fast charger, with CCS2 plugs, can deliver up to 450 km of range per hour, or about 75 km every 10 minutes, providing a fast and efficient EV charging solution.

ActewAGL Retail General Manager Rachael Turner said Braddon was the perfect site for the new station, being a vibrant area with a high uptake of EVs.

“The chargers are not only convenient for residents and apartment dwellers, but also tourists and shoppers visiting the area,” she said.

“With the capacity to expand as demand grows, the site is future-proofed to continue meeting the evolving needs of our community.”

ActewAGL continues to expand and upgrade its public EV charging network across ACT and NSW, with 15 stations already up and running with excellent accessibility and reliability, and plans to expand further by the end of the year.

There are other sites in Dickson, Kingston, Belconnen, Phillip, Amaroo, Greenway (2), Canberra Airport, Murrumbateman and Bungendore.

The Braddon fast charging station was made possible with the assistance of the ACT Government under the Public EV Charging Infrastructure Fund.
