EECA seeks to support demonstration projects to test how heavy vehicle charging infrastructure can be provided reliably and be operated cost effectively through integrated demand flexibility.
Activity will be focused through charge point operators and freight companies who will be co-funded by EECA to install heavy vehicle charging infrastructure which will include demand flexibility technologies.

Applications can be made for on-road vehicle charging hubs at shared urban facilities, either in an urban transport hub or at a qualifying depot with a clear sharing plan, or for dedicated journey charging. They must incorporate technologies such as smart charging, battery energy storage, and demand flexibility to minimise grid impacts.

Applicants can apply for up to $5 million of total EECA co-funding of up to 50% of eligible costs for a minimum 1 MW charging hub. The remainder of the total Project costs will be co-funded by the Project Owner. Co-funding is for on-road vehicle hubs.
