This will be the first publicly available EV fast charger within an hour of Mallacoota and will offer the opportunity for those with electric vehicles to visit our community.
This project has been in the works for several years. TRiM (then MSEG) and the East Gippsland Shire both applied for Destination Charging Across Victoria funding.
Our desire was to collaborate with a local community-owned facility to install a charger on their land to ‘soak up’ excess solar produced by their solar/battery/generator system. The income generated by the charger would have benefited both organisations.
The East Gippsland Shire was successful for 7 chargers across the shire. Four are now in and functional with the final 3 intended to be in Lakes Entrance, Buchan and Mallacoota by the end of 2023.
TRiM’s application was unsuccessful so we have since been assisting and encouraging the EGSC Project Mgr. We are also investigating other future EV charger opportunities.
The best way you can support us is to keep in touch so we can let you know when you can easily charge your EV in Mallacoota and you can plan your trip!
