Tasmania delivers electric vehicle network

19 Feb, 2021



Tasmania has launched a nation-leading state-wide Electric Vehicle Fast Charge Network comprising 14 fast chargers, from Geeveston to Scottsdale, and Queenstown to Burnie, as well as the Midlands in between. It will continue to grow over time as the number of electric vehicles (EV) increases.

Premier of Tasmania, Peter Gutwein, said Tasmania is ideally placed to benefit from the rise in EV users and new technology on their roads with Tasmania’s state-wide electric charging network being capable of ensuring mid-range EVs can travel nearly everywhere around the state.

“With Tasmania now being 100 per cent self-sufficient in renewable energy, and committed to increasing this to 200 per cent of our current needs by 2040, there is no doubt we are ideally suited to electric vehicles.”

“It is clear that transport globally is undergoing a transition towards low emissions vehicles, and we are ensuring we have the infrastructure and networks in place so that Tasmanians, and visitors, alike can benefit,” Premier Gutwein commented.

“We will continue to support the uptake of electric vehicles, which is why we have invested around $600,000 to support the establishment of the Network which has stimulated $2.5 million in investment in charging infrastructure through our ChargeSmart Grants Program.”

“Our funding has supported the establishment of 14 fast chargers across Tasmania, as well as 23 workplace and destination chargers.”

Premier Gutwein congratulated Electric Highway Tasmania and all others involved in developing the state-wide Network and added that he looks forward to it supporting more Tasmanians get around the State in the years ahead.
