Kerbside EV charging coming to Victoria as Aussie firm's network continues to grow
The first chargers will be located in High Street and Warner Avenue in Ashburton, with further installations to be located within the cities of Port Phillip, Stonnington and Yarra in the greater Melbourne area.
All up, RACV and EVX plan to install up to 40 dual EVX chargers across the state, supported by a $2.4 million grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) that will see EVX install 250 chargers across over 60 local government areas in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.
These chargers are installed directly onto existing utility poles, which EVX says provides flexibility for EV drivers who park on the street, including those who live in apartments or who lack private parking or the ability to install home chargers.

Each EVX charging unit is Australian-designed and made and features dual 22kW sockets, allowing EV drivers to charge their vehicles using AC power.
EV drivers will need to download the EVX Australia app, which shows the chargers currently available, and scan a QR code to start charging. It costs $0.50 per kWh to charge a vehicle using an EVX charger.
EVX, which manufactures, installs and operates kerbside EV chargers, already has around 100 chargers throughout NSW and plans to install another 120 more across not only Victoria and NSW but also South Australia and the ACT, all within the next 10-12 months.
"Partnerships like this with RACV are helping us to accelerate the transition to EVs by providing a reliable, accessible, affordable and sustainable EV charging network across the country," said EVX CEO Andrew Forster.
The company alone will soon have more than half – or 278 – of the kerbside chargers being rolled out across Sydney's suburbs as part of a new grant program in NSW. It's receiving 27 per cent of the total co-funding – $2.8 million – from the NSW Government.
The state government has announced plans to roll out 436 chargers across 130 suburbs, with the $2.8 million investment being accompanied by $2.2 million in private investment. In addition to EVX, Charge Post, Connected Kerb, Plus ES and EF Asset Management are receiving kerbside charging grants.
EVX is set to be the first kerbside charging provider in Victoria, but it may not be alone for long.
Victorian energy distributors CitiPower, Powercor and United Energy confirmed last year they plan to install, own and maintain kerbside chargers across 100 locations.
It has applied for a ring-fencing waiver from the Australian Energy Regulator to be able to install and maintain this infrastructure.
Should this plan be approved, the energy distributors will install 22kW single- and dual-port chargers on existing power poles, with a third-party charging company to manage interactions with customers.

The Perth suburbs where house values rose most over 20 years
House values have soared in Perth's outer suburbs over the past two decades, new data shows, as buyers compete for an affordable place to live and new development booms. The new data from Coality, formerly CoreLogic, has revealed the cost of living is pushing people further away from the CBD – but there is a limit to how far people will move. In Banksia Grove, house values have jumped nearly 300 per cent in the past 20 years, to a median of $731,905. The next two suburbs on the list – Aveley and Dayton – both in the City of Swan, jumped by nearly 186 per cent and 281 per cent respectively. And in fourth place, the relatively new suburb of Harrisdale has quickly hit a median value of more than $900,000 – an increase of over 280 per cent. Loading Coality's head of Australian research Eliza Owen said the outer suburbs of Perth have attracted a lot of buyers in recent years because of 'the enormous upswing in home values across the city'. 'A boost to interstate migration, strong commodity prices and low interest rate settings created a boom in home values through 2020 and 2021, and that price uplift has continued even as interest rates started shifting higher,' she said. 'This has pushed out a lot of buyer interest to what were once more affordable, peripheral areas of the market.

Top End war games visit follows bilateral pact signing
With the ink dry on a 50-year Anglo-Australian submarine agreement, visiting British ministers David Lammy and John Healey are set to join Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles for some fun and war games in the Top End. Mr Marles and Secretary of State Mr Healey put pen to paper on a bilateral deal said to strengthen ties around the AUKUS nuclear submarine agreement in Geelong on Saturday despite a review of the three-nation pact by the US government. AUKUS, formed with the UK and US in 2021 to address concerns about China's rising military ambition, is designed to enable Australia to acquire nuclear-powered attack submarines in the 2040s. However, concerns over the viability of the $560 billion deal have been ongoing since the Trump administration initiated a review to examine if it meets its "America-first" criteria. In a bid to put the matter to rest, Mr Marles insisted after the Geelong Treaty signing that it built on "the strong foundation of trilateral co-operation between Australia, the UK and the United States" and advanced the shared objectives of AUKUS. "It will support the development of the personnel, workforce, infrastructure and regulatory systems required for Australia's ... AUKUS program" as well as support the rotational presence of a UK Astute-class submarine at HMAS Stirling in Perth , he said . Mr Marles said he remained confident about the future of US involvement in the partnership, as did Mr Healey and Mr Lammy, Britain's Foreign Secretary. Australia will pay $5 billion to support British industry in designing and producing nuclear reactors to power the future AUKUS-class subs. It will also acquire at least three Virginia-class nuclear-powered submarines from the US in the early 2030s. With the formalities done and dusted, Mr Marles, Mr Lammy and Mr Healey are expected to attend Talisman Sabre in Darwin on Sunday. Australia's largest and most sophisticated war-fighting exercise started on July 13 and involves more than 35,000 personnel from 19 militaries across three weeks. In addition to the US, forces from Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and the UK have joined as partners. Malaysia and Vietnam are also attending as observers. The 2025 war games involve the UK's Carrier Strike Group, led by the Royal Navy flagship HMS Prince of Wales - the first UK carrier strike group to visit Australia since 1997.
