Release of the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Mapping Tool
The Australian Government has released the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Mapping Tool (EVCI Mapping Tool).
The EVCI Mapping Tool was designed for governments and the private sector to:
- guide optimal investment in electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Australia over the next five to ten years
- support improved coordination and planning of the deployment of charging infrastructure in optimal development zones.
The optimal development zones for fast charging infrastructure are based on various inputs including projected EV uptake, traffic flows, along with other key data inputs.
The Mapping Tool contains data layers that can be turned on or off. The data inputs include:
- existing and planned public EV fast chargers
- traffic flows
- population demographics
- electricity grid capacity
- local amenities (like fuel stations, fast food outlets, and tourist attractions)
- mobile coverage.
The EVCI Mapping tool is intended to be used as a guide only. Modelled outputs should not be taken as a projection.
The EVCI Mapping Tool is an Australian Government initiative identified in the National Electric Vehicle Strategy and has been developed in collaboration with all states and territories and Evenergi.

Other government initiatives
The Australian Government is funding additional initiatives and programs to support the uptake of EVs.
Driving the Nation Fund
The Driving the Nation Fund will enable Australia's shift to EVs in several ways. The Fund will support:
- the installation of EV charging infrastructure at automotive dealerships and EV repairers across the country through the Dealership and Repairer Initiative for Vehicle Electrification Nationally (DRIVEN) Program
- the delivery of over 100 EV chargers on key highway routes across Australia as part of the national EV Fast Charging Network
- a range of projects to help reduce Australia’s road transport emissions through the Driving the Nation Program (delivered by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency).
ev.gov.au
You can find the EVCI Mapping Tool on ev.gov.au – the Australian Government’s central hub for reliable, up-to-date information on EVs.
ev.gov.au helps Australians with buying, owning, and maintaining an EV. The website includes information on:
- EV basics such as types of vehicles, benefits, and EVs and the environment
- charging at home and on the road
- government assistance for buying an EV
- getting the most from your EV including long trip planning.
