Electric vehicle (EV) chargers
We are installing six electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Bayside’s shopping precincts in partnership with JOLT Australia.
These fast chargers will be installed at no cost to the Council. JOLT will provide 7kWh of free charging to each customer every 24 hours, equivalent to approximately 45-50 km of driving range.

EV charger locations
Locations for the new fast-chargers include:
- Highett Station
- Black Street carpark, Brighton
- Seaview Shops, Beaumaris
- Sandringham Library
- Black Rock public carpark
- Mills Street, Hampton
See decorative map below including images of the EV chargers.
We’ve selected these locations based on local resident, shopper/visitor and trader support during community consultation in March and April 2024.
This initiative aligns with Bayside's Parking Strategy and Climate Emergency Action Plan.
Key features
- 50kW DC fast chargers, sourced from 100% renewable sources
- CCS2 connector types for most Australian delivered EVs
- Installed at no cost to Council
- Every EV drivers gets 7kWh free charging daily
- Each charger will have a digital advertising panel.
What to expect during works
One public carparking space will be converted to EV charging only, except at Black Street carpark and Seaview Shops where the charger will serve two adjacent car parking spaces.
Installation is not expected to be disruptive with community impacts carefully managed by JOLT.
