Our charging stations are inclusive
We're committed to creating a safe and accessible charging network for all drivers, so our charging bays are built with accessibility in mind.
Key features of our accessible charging stations include a larger bay for wheelchair access (marked with priority signage and "use last" instructions) and the consideration of potential obstructions like wheel stops and bollards.
We've published our learnings to guide the design of accessible EV charging infrastructure more broadly in SA. Explore the guidelines

Why does the cost of charging an EV change depending on the time of day?
The cost of charging an EV is cheaper during the day, because that’s when our state’s renewable energy generation is highest. This helps make the best use of solar energy. -
How long will it take to charge my EV?
It depends on the type of charger and your electric vehicle.
Generally, Destination (7kW) chargers take several hours to fully charge a car, so you’ll find them in places like tourist parks and accommodation providers.
Rapid (150kW) and Ultra-rapid (200kW) chargers take as little as 15 to 45 minutes to fully charge an EV, so you’ll find them along highways and in country towns. -
Do I need my own cable to use the charging stations?
It depends on the type of site. Our Destination (7kW) charging sites will have Type 2 plugs and, to use these, you’ll need your own cable. Our Rapid (150kW) and Ultra-rapid (200kW) charging sites are equipped with cables, so you won’t need your own.
