As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow across Australia, one question keeps coming up for drivers, councils and communities alike. Where will all these vehicles charge, especially in neighbourhoods without driveways, garages or private parking?
For many Australians, home charging is simply not an option. Apartments, terraces, rentals and older suburbs often rely on street parking, and installing a private charger is either impractical or impossible. This is where kerbside EV charging plays a critical role in supporting a more accessible and realistic transition to electric transport.
EVX polechargers are designed specifically to meet this need. By using existing power poles, they bring reliable public EV charging directly to the streets where people already live, work and park.
Charging that fits real life
Most EV charging does not happen on long road trips. It happens day to day, when cars are parked for hours at a time. Overnight outside the house, during the workday, or while visiting local shops and services.
EVX polechargers support this everyday behaviour through medium speed AC charging that suits longer dwell times. Drivers can top up their battery while their car is already parked, without needing to make a special trip or wait in queues. This approach makes EV ownership feel more natural and less disruptive, particularly for households that rely on street parking.
Designed for Australian streets
Kerbside infrastructure needs to work within existing neighbourhoods. EVX polechargers are installed on current power poles, reducing the need for new structures, concrete bases or major construction works. This keeps footpaths clear, preserves local streetscapes and allows chargers to be deployed more efficiently.
Each charger is designed and manufactured in Australia, built to public infrastructure grade and tested for local conditions including heat, heavy rain and dust. This focus on durability and safety helps ensure reliable charging year round.
Supporting communities without home charging
Access to EV charging should not depend on whether someone owns a home with a garage. Kerbside charging helps level the playing field by providing a practical solution for renters, apartment residents and households without off street parking.
By bringing charging closer to home, EVX polechargers support broader EV adoption across more communities. They help remove one of the biggest barriers to switching to electric, particularly in urban and inner city areas where street parking is common.
Using data and local insight to guide rollout
Effective public charging relies on thoughtful placement. EVX uses real usage data from its growing network to understand how drivers charge and where demand is highest. This data is combined with site surveys and feedback from drivers and councils to help plan new locations.
Community input also plays an important role. When residents request charging in their area, it helps highlight streets where kerbside charging could make a meaningful difference. This collaborative approach supports better outcomes for both drivers and local authorities.
Powering a cleaner transport future
All EVX polechargers are powered by renewable energy, helping drivers reduce emissions every time they charge. For many households, kerbside charging is the most practical way to access clean energy for transport without needing private solar or home upgrades.
As Australia works toward its emissions reduction goals, public charging infrastructure that is accessible, renewable powered and easy to use will be essential.
Kerbside EV charging is becoming a key part of Australia’s transport infrastructure. It supports everyday driving, strengthens local communities and helps ensure the transition to electric vehicles is inclusive and practical.
EVX polechargers are designed to meet the realities of Australian streets, offering a simple and scalable way to bring EV charging closer to where it is needed most.
