Customers and tenants at Stockland town centres will soon have access to over 100 AmpCharge charging bays across 16 retail town centres. These bays will allow customers to fully charge their cars in about 60 minutes or less, under the current rollout plan.
Ampol managing director and CEO Matt Halliday said Ampol was continuing the expansion of its AmpCharge network as more EV drivers seek convenient places to charge.
“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,” Halliday said.
“We look forward to rolling out this critical infrastructure to accommodate an ever-growing number of EVs on our roads.”
The EV charging infrastructure will be installed across Stockland’s town centres over the coming 18 months, with the number of charging bays per centre ranging from six to 12 based on current customer demand.
Each AmpCharge charger can service two cars, providing one car up to 150kW or two cars up to 75kW when charging simultaneously.
