New round of EV grants to ‘Charge Up’ WA’s energy transition
The State Government is furthering its support for EV uptake with a third round of Charge Up Grants to support not-for-profits, small businesses, and local governments to install charging infrastructure throughout Western Australia.
Charge Up Grants, which cover up to half of the costs for installing EV infrastructure, are designed to increase the availability of EV chargers throughout WA, including at workplaces, local attractions and tourist destinations, and for public charging along key travel routes.
To date, more than $4.5 million of grant funding has been approved to assist organisations, businesses, and local governments to install 611 chargers in 341 locations, spanning as far north as Port Hedland and as far south as Walpole.
The grant applications opened on Tuesday, October 8, and close on Monday, June 30, 2025.
“These grants are a great way to help organisations support the energy transition,” said Energy, Environment and Climate Action Minister Reece Whitby. “This funding is available to support a wide range of users to install EV charging infrastructure where there is growing demand, including at workplaces and local tourist attractions.”
“By funding charging infrastructure and easing range anxiety for EV drivers, we are helping reduce carbon emissions and putting WA closer to achieving net zero emissions by 2050.”
The State Government has announced a third round of Charge Up EV Charging Grants, with applications closing on Monday, June 30, 2025. For more information, visit www.wa.gov.au/chargeup
