Energy Minister Bill Johnston has announced the launch of the Charge Up Workplace Grant Program. A $15 million commitment to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across WA.
This program is part of the McGowan Government’s $60 million package to increase EV uptake and reduce carbon emissions. Round One grants are available to not-for-profit organisations, small and medium businesses, and local government authorities. Each eligible applicant is able to receive up to $50,000 in metropolitan areas and $75,000 in regional and remote areas.
The grants will cover up to half the cost of purchasing and installing charging stations and associated software.
The Charge Up Grants will provide funding for up to four Level Two EV chargers (7 to 22kW AC) per site, for up to five sites, with a cap of $5,000 for installation in metropolitan areas and $10,000 in regional and remote areas.
