Client – RACV

RACV supports over 2.1 million members with insurance, roadside assistance, and resorts – and has invested in EV charging for nearly a decade to drive sustainable transport across Victoria.

Challenges

Electric vehicle charging network upgrade

Hardware selection
RACV required a reliable solution to replace ageing and outdated charging units. JET Charge worked with RACV to conduct in-depth due diligence on hardware options, ultimately selecting Kempower for its quality and adaptability.
Complex infrastructure and power
Each site had unique infrastructure and power availability, requiring tailored solutions.
Logistics management
Managing the long lead arrival of charging equipment in bulk and scheduling installations across multiple sites in the shortest timeframe, posed a significant challenge. To ensure consistency and efficiency, JET Charge aimed to use the same engineering, installation and commissioning teams wherever possible, despite geographical constraints.

Solution & Implementation

JET Charge simplified RACV’s electric vehicle charging network upgrade by managing installation, integration, and maintenance across multiple sites – ensuring a reliable EV charging experience for members.

JET Charge provided a turnkey EV charging network upgrade for RACV, handling site design, permitting, hardware supply, and installation across 23+ locations with minimal disruption.

By expertly managing Kempower charger deployment and rollout logistics, JET Charge ensured a reliable and scalable EV charging infrastructure that supports RACV’s sustainable transport goals and future growth.

Outcomes

The upgraded RACV EV charging network now delivers higher uptime, improved reliability, and a better charging experience for members and guests. With scalable Kempower fast chargers installed across 23+ sites, RACV is equipped to support growing EV demand and future expansion – backed by ongoing maintenance and support from JET Charge.
