At least one new electric vehicle charge station will be
installed in either Castlemaine or Harcourt in coming months under a rollout of
up to 24 new chargers across 17 regional Victorian sites.
The Central Victorian Greenhouse Alliance is working in partnership with 12
local councils and the state government to roll out a network of new public EV
charging stations expected to use 100 percent renewable energy.
Mount Alexander Shire is among the sites included in the tender to install
between 20-24 new EV charge stations by the middle of next year.
The CVGA’s executive officer Rob Law told the Castlemaine Mail that
both Harcourt and Castlemaine are currently being considered.
“Tenders close on October 6 and we’re looking to have the first station up
and running in November and all up and running by next May,” Mr Law says.
