The 8 largest EV charging networks in Australia, with the most DC charging locations, are Chargefox, Evie, Tesla, Jolt, NRMA, Exploren, Ampol and BP Pulse. The locations of DC charging stations are shown on the PlugShare app.

A Chargefox account enables access to about 1,849 EV charging sites*.

The Partner Networks, who have partnered with Chargefox, as an additional way for customers to use their chargers, include BP Pulse, Citipower-Powercor-United, EVX Australia, NRMA, some Sonic Charge locations, some Exploren DC locations and some AGL stations.

Plus Chargefox’s own network, for which only Chargefox provides customer services, for many EV chargers, including RACV, RAA SA, RACT, AANT, RAC WA, WA EV, Yurika, Charge Ahead, EnergyAustralia, Shell Recharge and others.

Activation is by Chargefox app, or RFID linked to a Chargefox account. Some stations have credit card facilities.

You need to be signed in to the app to see all charging locations.

My fastest charging rate was when the charge rate peaked at 196kW at the DC charger at Holbrook NSW, taking my EV from 16% to 80% in 25 min.

If I was to charge from 80 to 100, it would slow as the battery fills and take longer to do that last 20% than it did to get to 80%.

Over the past 4 yrs 11 mths and 114,757 kms, I’ve used lots of DC chargers across NSW, Vic and Qld.

My EV lifetime charging has been 55% AC charges and 45% DC charges, over the 114,757 kms I've travelled.
