New EV chargers now open at West Perth

Members and visitors can now use our upgraded electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, featuring faster and more modern technology. The new site can charge up to five vehicles at the same time, making charging quicker, easier and more convenient. This includes a dedicated charger for ACROD bay users to improve accessibility for members and visitors.

Back at Full Charge, a Leading EV Destination Returns

Once recognised as one of the busiest EV charging sites on the Chargefox network in WA and nationally, the site has played a central role in the state’s EV journey, including its connection to the first Electric Highway of its kind back in 2015.

Following these upgrades, it is set to return to peak levels, reinforcing its position as one of the most popular and trusted charging locations on the network.

Growing Demand for EV Charging

Since 2020, the charging station has recorded more than 63,000 charging sessions. Almost 40,000 of those sessions happened in the past two years alone, showing the growing demand for EV charging in WA.

WA’s EV Growth Is Speeding Up
