UPDATED: 4 April 2025 with new JOLT prices.
Owning an electric vehicle (EV) in Manningham will soon be more convenient.
We’re partnering with Jolt Charge and Evie Networks to roll out nine public electric vehicle charging stations in 2025 – powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.
What is a public EV charger?
Although they’re privately owned, public EV chargers are on public land and available for everyone to use – all day, every day. The universal chargers are accessible to every electric vehicle.
Public EV charging network benefits
Electric vehicle use is booming, with more people switching every day.
Ensure that EV charging is accessible and practical
Many EV owners rely on public chargers to power up while on the go, or because they don’t have the infrastructure at home. A public charging network will ensure that residents living in apartments, rental properties or areas without dedicated parking can access EV chargers.
Reduce our transport emissions
Transport accounts for nearly a quarter of Manningham’s carbon emissions. This rate is higher than other local governments in Melbourne – and nationally.
Encouraging more people to use electric vehicles powered by renewable energy will help decrease our transport emissions and reach Manningham's net zero emissions target by 2035.
Boost local businesses with enhanced car parking
It's proven that EV users visit shops and activity centres that provide EV chargers. While charging, they can explore nearby shops, businesses, and recreational facilities.
Increase driver confidence
EV users can travel confidently in and around Manningham, knowing they can rely on a network of fast chargers to top up on the go.
Create a cleaner and greener Manningham
Powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, the charging network will help reduce transport emissions, improve local air quality and reduce noise pollution.
Charger locations
The nine new public EV charging stations will be conveniently located near commercial, recreational and tourist destinations.
The specific locations of the charging bays will depend on access to power supply.
Sites we’re exploring include:
- Doncaster Reserve (near Jackson Court), Doncaster East
- Templestowe Village, Templestowe
- Bulleen Road, Bulleen
- Devon Plaza, Doncaster East
- Donburn Village, Doncaster East
- Lawford Road (near Westfield), Doncaster
- Mullum Mullum Stadium, Donvale
- Pines Learning and Activity Centre, Doncaster East
- Donvale Reserve, Donvale
- Warrandyte (location TBC)
- MC Square, Doncaster
- Macedon Square, Templestowe Lower
About the chargers
Each charging station will be operated by either Jolt or Evie.
Both chargers are powered by 100 per cent renewable energy through government accredited GreenPower.
Each provider offers a distinct product and service, giving you more options for charging.
Their services are summarised below.
| Jolt Charge | Evie Networks | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | 25kW and 50kW DC fast chargers. | 75kW DC ultra fast chargers. |
| Indicative speed | 75km to 125km of range in 30 minutes. | 150km of range in 30 minutes. |
| Plug | Tethered CCS2 plugs at all sites. CHadeMO plugs at select sites. | Tethered CCS2 plugs at all sites. CHadeMO plugs at select sites. |
| Services and costs | 7 kWh free daily charge (up to 50 km of range).* Additional charge at 59 cents per kWh, depending on site. *Free charging is subsidised by the digital advertising screens featured on Jolt’s chargers. | 58 to 68 cents per kWh, depending on site. |
| Payment | Payment through JOLT app. No paid subscription required. | Payment through Evie app or RFID card. No paid subscription required. |
| e-Bikes | e-Bike chargers with standard 10A outlet at select locations. Cable not provided. |
How much will the project cost?
There will be no cost to us to install and operate the infrastructure. The chargers will be located on our land, however Jolt Charge and Evie Networks will cover all expenses for the chargers, including ongoing maintenance. The chargers are based on a user-pay model, with charging costs at standard market rates.
How are they powered?
The chargers are powered by 100 per cent renewable energy through government accredited GreenPower.

At the 27 May Manningham Council Meeting, the draft Council Plan, draft 2025-26 Budget, draft 10 year financial plan and the draft Revenue and Rating Plan were tabled. These have been developed in line with Manningham's newly endorsed Community Vision 2040 to help shape the future of Manningham.
These draft strategic documents are now available on the Your Say Manningham website and will be presented for endorsement at the 30 June Council Meeting.
The draft Asset Plan 2025-2035 and the Council Plan Action Plan will be made available at an upcoming Council meeting.
The strategic documents are informed by extensive community engagement conducted throughout 2024-25.
At the heart of this work was the deliberative community panel – a collaborative effort that brought together 37 community members to play a crucial role in helping determine key priorities for Manningham.
Extensive community consultation informed both Council's strategic planning and the Community Panel’s deliberations, ensuring that the plans are grounded in the community's priorities, needs and aspirations.
This consultation included a community-wide survey last year, where 1,260 community members shared what matters most to them and which three areas they thought Council should focus on. Council also held a series of targeted conversations with key groups and residents including young people, older adults, multicultural communities and partners.
On top of that, many community members sent in their own ideas and suggestions through individual submissions, showing how Council services can improve to build a better future together.
These community insights provided Council with a strong and balanced view of the community's wants and needs. It directly shaped its strategic planning and the work of the Community Panel.
Given the depth and quality of feedback received during this process, a separate public submission process will not be held for this year’s strategic plans.
This approach is in line with Council's Community Engagement Policy as required by the Local Government Act.
