22 Oct Australia’s First EV Truck Charging Hub
Melbourne’s freight operators will soon have access to the country’s first dedicated electric truck charging hub, with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) providing $12.3 million in support for the project.
The hub will be developed, constructed and operated by Mondo Power in Laverton North, one of Melbourne’s busiest freight corridors, to demonstrate the technical and commercial viability of electrifying heavy vehicles.
The facility will feature 14 dual plug electric vehicle chargers designed specifically for heavy battery electric trucks (BEVs). Alongside the hub, the funding will help offset the total cost of ownership for 20 heavy BEV trucks, supporting transport companies trialling the technology and shifting away from diesel.
This initiative highlights how clean energy innovation can transform Australia’s high-emission transport sector and assist in the move towards net zero.
