AUSTRALIA | In another win for EV charging convenience, AGL electric vehicle (EV) charging sites will now be available to drivers through the Chargefox app.
Located in Sydney, these pole-mounted kerbside chargers provide convenient charging for residents without home charging or for visitors to the area for shopping, entertainment, or running errands.
“We are excited to welcome another charging network to Chargefox. Kerbside charging is a critical part of our mission to provide convenient charging to EV drivers right across Australia, with a secure and convenient experience,” said Executive General Manager of Chargefox Ed Asuncion.
The announcement means AGL’s kerbside charging sites, which range from 7kW to 22kW, are now accessible via the Chargefox app and Chargefox RFID cards.
Chargefox users will be able to locate, charge and pay for charging sessions at these locations, seamlessly integrating AGL’s convenient kerbside infrastructure with Australia's most popular EV charging platform.
“At AGL, we're really focused on making it easier for Australians to adopt electric vehicles but recognise that not everyone will have the ability or ease of access to have at-home chargers,” said AGL's Head of E-Mobility Mabelle Reyes.
“By providing over 150 public chargers around Sydney, our central aim was to improve access to reliable charging. Partnering with Chargefox now extends the reach of these kerbside chargers, giving more EV drivers the confidence that they can conveniently charge in more locations without reliance on off-street parking."
Making chargers available on Chargefox means exposing them to over 300,000 EV drivers. More exposure means more people using chargers, which in turn generates more revenue for charger owners, who will ultimately invest in more chargers. This is a win-win for drivers and charger owners alike.
“We’re building a future where all public EV chargers are available to all EV drivers on one simple platform, so users can easily and securely see, navigate to, and use thousands of chargers without having to use multiple apps,” said Rebecca Stenhouse, CEO of Australian Motoring Services (AMS), who operate Chargefox.
The newly integrated AGL sites are now available on the Chargefox app.
