RAC Electric Highway
The Electric Highway was our electric vehicle charging program. Now that there are more chargers available for all the EVs on the road, we’re bringing the project to an end.
RAC members save 20%* when using our charging stations.
Using EV charging stations
You can find our EV charging stations at our office in West Perth, selected RAC Parks and Resorts, RAC Auto Service Centres and Treendale Shopping Centre, Australind.
Anyone who has an EV can use our charging stations. They’re part of Chargefox, Australia’s largest EV charging network.
It’s easy to use the charging stations. Simply download the free Chargefox app from the Apple App Store or Google Play store to get started.
Or if you prefer not to use the app, find out how to request the Chargefox RDIF card.
