The Electric Vehicle Council has partnered with the NSW Government to create a list of approved AC EV chargers and EV charger software that is eligible for funding under the NSW Government co-funding programs. The lists can also support those who want to understand the types of AC EV chargers in the Australian market, typical costs and who supplies them.
The EVC has run an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to develop this list of approved EV charging hardware and software products on behalf of the NSW government.
Visit the NSW Government’s Electric Vehicle page to learn more about current grants and programs.
The lists are relevant to applicants of NSW Government’s EV grants and programs including:
The lists should be read in conjunction with the applicable funding program guidelines.
If you require EV charger software, you must select your software before selecting your EV charger, as not all software supports all chargers. Please note that EV charging hardware can be purchased from any supplier, including suppliers not referenced in the list, and be eligible for co-funding from NSW Government co-funding.
Each product has been vetted against a set of requirements developed by the EVC in association with NSW Government. These requirements are designed to ensure fit for purpose, flexible and durable products are utilised for NSW government co-funded installations.

The EVC has run an Expression of Interest process to develop this list of approved EV charging hardware and software products on behalf of the NSW government and has based the list on information and assertions provided to the EVC by the equipment and software suppliers. The EVC and NSW Government do not take responsibility for the accuracy of the information supplied to us, and hence do not accept responsibility for any losses associated with the use of the information presented on this list. It is the responsibility of anyone using this list to conduct their own research and due diligence on each supplier and EV charging hardware/software prior to purchase or installation.
The initial expression of interest (EOI) to create the lists ran from February 21st to March 7th, 2022. The second EOI, to enable existing listed items to be updated, and for new applicants to get their products listed ran from August through to September 2022.
The hardware and software lists will be updated on a periodic basis.
Successful round 1 applicants of the NSW destination charging grants are required to utilise hardware and pricing based on V1 of the lists. Please click below for information.
