UPDATED: Public electric vehicle (EV) charger location updated on Tuesday 6 May to reflect revised project timelines. 

We’re excited to announce the first public electric vehicle (EV) charger location: Bulleen Car Park.

About the charger

Planned for installation in June 2025, this charging station is part of a broader rollout of nine public EV chargers across Manningham.

Powered by renewable energy, this Jolt fast charger is compatible with all EVs. It will provide 7 kWh of free daily charge (up to 50 km of range), with additional charge ranging from 54 to 59 cents per kWh, depending on the location.

There will be one charger, servicing two parking bays. 

Following engagement with the local businesses, this location was selected for its proximity to commercial, recreational and tourist destinations, as well as its access to reliable power supplies.

Why we’re supporting EVs

By installing these charging stations – and the six more to follow – we aim to accommodate the growing use of electric vehicles, especially following new legislated vehicle standards.  

We’re also responding to community support for local public charging facilities, as revealed in our 2023 Manningham community survey. 

The public charging network will help ensure that EV charging is accessible and practical while also reducing our transport emissions, boosting local businesses with enhanced car parking, and supporting EV drivers to travel with confidence.
