property home garden EV charging ready to go in Sorrento In our rapidly changing world, the increasing price of fuel and fuel security is top of mind. These factors and the desire to reduce fuel emissions are seeing more people make the switch to electric vehicles. According to The Climate Council, EV sales in Australia increased by 200 per cent in 2021. And with that switch comes the need for EV charging stations. At the end of last month, two new public charging stations were opened in the Morce Ave carpark in Sorrento just near the community centre and skate park. The 50kW chargers are capable of charging a typical EV from flat to 80 per cent in about an hour. The chargers cost 40 cents per kW and are managed by Evie Networks.

This new initiative is in response to Evie’s successful application for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s future fuels funding program, which promises to promote public charging infrastructure. Mornington Peninsula Mayor Anthony Marsh said: “This initiative will further promote the uptake of zero-emission vehicles in our community, serving to reduce transport emissions, enhance our tourism economy and improve our community’s health and well-being. This project aligns strongly with our climate emergency plan.” For an interactive map of public charging stations on the Peninsula, in Greater Frankston, and even worldwide, go to www.plugshare.com NIKKI FISHER
