Case Studies
JET Charge and Toyota power one of Australia’s top 10 largest private EV charging networks
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) is Australia’s most trusted and best-selling automotive supplier. Drawing on more than a quarter of a century of leadership in hybrid vehicles, Toyota tooka big step on their multi-path approach to electrification in 2024 with the launch of their first BEV, the bZ4X.
JET Charge partnered with Toyota to roll out one of the top 10 largest EV charging networks in the country and the biggest dealer charging network available for automotive Customers. Across 18 months, we supplied and installed hardware at 250 metropolitan and rural Toyota dealerships across every state and territory, to ensure a nationwide charging solution ahead of the launch of Toyota’s first BEV, the bZ4X.
Additionally, Toyota chose JET Charge as their approved aftermarket supplier of EV hardware. JET Charge provides two charging cables with each bZ4X, anda free 7kW ABB home charger for Full-Service Lease Customers.

The Challenge
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) is Australia’s most trusted and best-selling automotive supplier.
KEY CHALLENGES:
Seamless charging solutions
Ahead of the release of their first BEV, Toyota were seeking a seamless charging solution “from the dealership to the driveway”.
Instilling confidence
Toyota dealers needed to be confident in selling this new technology and able to provide Customers with the same ease-of-purchase and Toyota brand security as with any vehicle purchase.
Installation support
JET Charge supported Toyota customers to provide a seamless path to home charger installation. Having completed over 10,000 home charger installations, JET Charge is the trusted provider for home charging solutions.
The Solution
Scale and capability: JET Charge was uniquely placed to take on a project of this scale. With a team of 150 employees, plus hundreds of electrical contractors out in the field at any given time, we were one of the few companies with the expertise to ensure a full service solution for Toyota.
Nationwide dealership rollout: Over the course of 18 months, we coordinated – from initial engagement to installation – with 250 metropolitan and rural Toyota dealerships to ensure they had the required level of underlying charging infrastructure to support the seamless arrival of the bZ4X on Australian shores.
End-to-end support: JET Charge supported Toyota with EV charging guidance, project management, hardware supply and hardware installation as part of the rollout. The multifaceted nature of the project required clear and ongoing communication between Toyota’s vast dealership network and JET Charge’s team of experts. This approach has resulted in the successful rollout of one of the top 10 largest EV charging networks in the country.
Dealer training and product guidance: JET Charge took the challenge of EV charging away from the dealership. We did so by providing input into Toyota’s training on EV product advice and process, and offering one-on-one dealership product guidance. This meant that when bZ4X launched in February, dealers were armed with the hardware and technical knowledge they needed to confidently market and sell Toyota’s flagship BEV.
A seamless path to at-home charging: JET Charge also ensured that Toyota Customers have a convenient and seamless pathway to at-home EV charging. As Toyota’s approved aftermarket suppliers of EV hardware, JET Charge supplies two charging cables with every bZ4X.
