Startegy 4 - Facilitate deployment of non-Council infrastructure
CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
Deployment of charging infrastructure by Council will support access to public chargers across the City and leading the way for others to continue further installations.
With our partners, we will facilitate deployment of critical public charging infrastructure at key locations beyond Council's control, and provide consistent guidelines, tools and resources to support businesses, residents and developers installing their own EV charging infrastructure.
Do you support this Strategy and the Actions that underpin it?

Castaway 10 months agoThroughout Europe it is common to see paid charging infrastructure integrated into existing service stations, thereby reducing the range anxiety barrier to adopting EV's. If LMCC could help facilitate and lead this sort of investment, that would go a long way to help lift EV adoption across the LGA. Providing clear guidelines and simple approvals would be a great initiative.

Jesterhat 10 months agoAll of us. We live in a society, we all contribute, not necessarily to things we all use. That's part of living in a society. I don't use aged care or have the aged pension, but I understand why I need to contribute to it. This is no different. Also, most of the charging stations I've seen that already exist are user-pays, some supply their own power via renewables. Its not really a problem.Hide reply (1)

kim.grierson 9 months agoWhether there is a fee for charging can be determined but a transition to EVs will save a lot of money elsewhere. For a start billions are spent each month importing petroleum products from the Middle East and foreign exchange is needed. With EVs we can make our own electricity and use the money saved for Australian projects. There is also a considerable health saving. ICE exhausts contribute to asthma, heart disease, cancer and other health problems. Moving to EVs can reduce health care costs and premature deaths.

RRR 10 months agoGiven the problems with range and charging times, there will need to be at least the same number of EV refuelling points as there are petrol pumps.Hide Replies (3)

neil 10 months agoIt takes less than 5 minutes to fill a conventional vehicle how far will you go on a 5 minute charge. There will have to be hundreds of charging points. Let’s hope all those that vote Green pay for one outside their house first to get the ball rolling.Hide Replies (2)

Troy13 10 months agoCouncil needs to be involved when big business put in plans for expansion yet don't consider future charging requirements. Whether that be for the public or there own fleet. You can't subdivide without contributing to parks & wildlife yet you can build a 4 story car park without charger's. Health infrastructure is another example.

jonathanwood79 9 months agoFully supportive of this. Again integration of infrastructure is key - i.e. Charlestown Square priority parking should match Council priority parking from a user perspective
-
jonathanwood79 9 months agoCouncil could also look at supporting the creation of Car Servicing infrastructure

neil 9 months agoEven the cheapest EV is good for at least 200+Kim that should be enough for most normal daily running around,so who will need these rate payer funded charging stations.
