Share the cost of charging infrastructure
The WA government is co-funding the cost of EV charging infrastructure with their $15 million grant program. Charge Up is designed to make it easier and more cost effective for small to medium enterprises, not-for-profit organisations and local government authorities to install EV charging equipment at their workplace.
The current funding round closes 30 June 2025, or when available funding is fully committed.
