Electric vehicles
Transport in Waverley is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, making up approximately 20% of community emissions. Electric vehicles (EV) and other electric transport modes, such as e-bikes, provide a pathway to decarbonise the transport sector when powered by renewable energy.
Council supports and encourages the uptake and use of EVs to help meet our community greenhouse gas emission reduction target of Net Zero by 2035, while also reducing noise and air pollution. Council’s Electric Vehicle Transportation Policy guides Council actions and decisions on EVs.
Eastern Suburbs Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy
In 2023, Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick Councils published Leading the Charge: Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy, outlining the vision and infrastructure required to meet growing numbers of EVs on our roads.
By 2030, 35,000 EVs are projected to be registered across Waverley, Woollahra and Randwick Councils. To cater for this demand, additional public chargers will continue to be installed across these LGAs. The chargers will be funded through government, residential and private sector investment, with the type of chargers installed determined by the average length of stay and surrounding urban form.
The Eastern Suburbs Charger Network
In 2019, the 3-Councils were the first in NSW to establish a network of Council owned and operated public charging stations.
To find a charging station:
- Visit our Have Your Say page;
- Search for 'electric vehicle charger' in Google Maps, Apple Maps or your preferred maps app; or
- Download the Chargefox app.
NSW Kerbside Charging Grants
The NSW Kerbside Charging Grants, which began in 2024, co-funds the installation of public electric vehicle charging stations across NSW. The aim of the grants is to assist the 1 in 3 drivers in NSW who do not have access to off-street parking to charge an EV.
