More EV charging coming to a shopping centre near you
Ampol partners with Stockland to roll out EV charging network across popular retail centres in OzA major boost is on the way for Stockland shopping centres across the country, with Ampol announcing a new partnership that’ll see more than 100 electric vehicle charging stations installed at popular shopping precincts.
From Burleigh Heads to Point Cook, the collaboration will see a roll-out of both fast and ultra-fast AmpCharge EV charging stations across 16 retail sites in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and Western Australia.
Said to fully charge an electric vehicle in about 60 minutes or less, the charging infrastructure will be introduced over the next 18 months and available to customers and tenants of Stockland centres, with six to 12 charging bays installed at each location, depending on demand.
Each AmpCharge charger can service two vehicles at a time, providing one car up to 150kW or two cars up to 75kW when charging simultaneously.
Confirmed sites across the country include Burleigh Heads, Baringa, Birtinya, Hervey Bay, and Rockhampton in Queensland; Point Cook, and Wendouree in Victoria; Harrisdale and Baldivis in Western Australia; and Merrylands, Wetherill Park, Shellharbour, Glendale, Green Hills, Forster, and Piccadilly (Sydney CBD) in New South Wales.
The expansion of Ampol’s AmpCharge network will make life more convenient for EV drivers, said Ampol boss, Matt Halliday.
“This new partnership enables us to broaden our EV infrastructure network to Stockland’s diversified property portfolio, marking a significant progression in our commitment to supporting our customers and partners as they navigate their energy transition journeys,” said Halliday.
Meanwhile, Tarun Gupta, Stockland’s Managing Director and CEO, said the partnership forms part of the shopping enterprise’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy.
“Across our portfolio, we are continually exploring ways in which we can support our customers’ transition to a low-carbon future,” said Gupta.
“Last year, our town centres saw nearly 1.8 million visits on average each week, and as the uptake of EVs grows in Australia, we will be providing customers with simple and accessible charging.”
“This partnership provides an opportunity for us to expand the roll-out of EV charging infrastructure across Stockland’s workplaces and communities in the future, making it easier for people to charge their vehicles wherever they live, work, socialise or shop.”
