Client – 3-Councils
The Eastern suburbs of Sydney are among Australia’s fastest-growing EV regions, with one in 20 vehicles now electric. With most residents living in apartments or renting, public charging is essential. Waverley, Randwick, and Woollahra Councils have invested $1.4 million, backed by NSW Government grants, to deliver accessible charging as part of their Net Zero commitments.
Challenges
Electric vehicle charging network upgrade
High density areas
Challenging environments
Live upgrades
Minimal downtime
Seamless user experience

Solution & Implementation
From street poles to fast chargers: a network designed for residents.
JET Charge delivered a future-ready public EV charging network across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, designed to meet the needs of residents and the 3-Councils. The network combines reliable hardware, smart load management, and seamless payments to ensure a convenient and consistent charging experience. Real-time monitoring and proactive maintenance keep chargers running smoothly and minimise downtime for the community.
Outcomes
Since 2019, the 3-Councils network has grown to over 52 chargers, making the Eastern Suburbs one of Australia’s most EV-friendly areas. Around 80% of residents are within an eight-minute walk of a public charger, supporting practical EV ownership for apartment dwellers and renters. With real-time monitoring, proactive maintenance, and easy payments via Chargefox, residents can charge with confidence.
“In our area, many residents live without off-street parking, so there’s strong support for more public EV charging, particularly with one of the highest EV uptake rates in the state. Council’s charging network has grown rapidly in response, from 40 charging sessions a month in 2019 to more than 3,000 a month this year…”
