Electric vehicles run on electricity rather than petrol or diesel fuel. They are cheap to run, need very little maintenance, reduce air and noise pollution, and, if charged with renewable energy, they can be zero emissions to operate.
Wollongong has one of the highest uptakes of electric vehicles in New South Wales*
Wollongong City Council is supporting residents in the switch to electric vehicles by increasing the availability of charging stations throughout the city. Read about our Policy to supercharge EV rollout.
We've already installed kerbside electric vehicle chargers at five convenient locations in Wollongong, Austinmer and Thirroul.
