The DRIVEN Charger Grant Stream grant opportunity makes $20 million available for the installation of new, public, fast EV charging stations at automotive dealership and EV repairer premises and, in turn, bolsters Australia's public fast charger network.

The objectives of the DRIVEN Charger Grant Stream are to:

• deliver charging stations at automotive dealership and EV repairer premises
• encourage installation of charging stations in regional areas of Australia
• support automotive dealerships and EV repairers looking to host charging stations
• facilitate partnerships between Australian automotive dealerships or EV repairers and EV charging businesses (e.g. Charge Point Operators).

Register of interested site hosts

To assist potential applicants, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) will facilitate a registration of interest process for potential site hosts (dealerships and EV repairers) interested in hosting charging stations.

This register is intended to support partnership development and help applicants identify suitable sites for their projects.

Use of the register is not mandatory and applicants may still identify suitable sites and site hosts not contained in the register.
