Electric vehicle charging sites will double in Australia again over the coming year, according to a new report, on top of record-breaking growth over the past 12 months.
The analysis, released by consulting firm Next System, found the number of car-charging sites surged by 90% in Australia during 2023.
The availability of public charging stations was one of the biggest concerns for motorists who were weighing up whether to buy an electric vehicle, according to a Pureprofile survey of more than 2,000 Australians late last year, second only to their purchase price.
