New EV Charging Stations in Nagambie being put to good use

Since two Electric Vehicle Charging Stations were installed in Nagambie in late July this year, usage has significantly trended upwards.

In August 2023 the stations were used 78 times comparatively to just five during July.

Throughout the month of August the total minutes the stations charged for was 2,250.92.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said it was fantastic to see such great data.

“Not only are the numbers we’re seeing fantastic, they have been increasing ever since we installed the stations. This means more and more visitors are finding out about the opportunity to charge their EVs when in Nagambie,” she said.

“It’s a win for tourism but it also means the Nagambie community is contributing to achieving Net Zero Emissions.”

The project comes after car charging station company Evie Networks put in an application, supported by Council, for Destination Charging Across Victoria (DCAV) Program to place one 50kw EV charger in Nagambie.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said there was overwhelming support from the community for one of the proposed locations, which is where the EV Stations are now installed.
