WA Electric Vehicle Network

We've finished building 110 charging points in 49 locations across Western Australia.

The EV charging network is made up of a combination of rapid, fast and slow chargers. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, and the charger you’re using, you may only need to be plugged in for as little as 15 minutes to top up and get on your way.

An idle fee is an additional fee incurred by a driver when EV charging is complete and remains connected to a charging station.  

The Chargefox app will notify drivers when their charge is nearly complete and again once fully charged at which time there is a grace period of 10 minutes to disconnect your vehicle.

For every additional minute, a car remains connected to the fast charger after it is fully charged and after the 10-minute grace period, an idle fee of $1 per minute will be incurred.

Arriving at a charging station to discover fully charged cars occupying bays is frustrating and can prevent people from reaching their destination.
Idle fees are being introduced on our WA EV Network DC fast chargers to:

• Maximise the availability of chargers and ensure as many people as possible can charge and get on their way.
• Discourage drivers from occupying chargers after charging has finished.
• Reduce barriers for more people to transition to an electric vehicle.

The EV charging station locations on the network were identified and selected by Synergy and Horizon Power in consultation with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Consultation with local government in these areas may result in changes to the charging station locations, including the eight additional charging stations to be installed at four locations between Norseman and Eucla that will complete the link to South Australia that were recently announced.
