EVSE Systems in Canberra. Driving the Future of Sustainable Transportation

ev-charging-station

As electric vehicles (EVs) grow in popularity, so does the need for robust Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) systems. Canberra, with its strong push toward sustainability, has emerged as a frontrunner in the adoption of electric vehicles.

In 2024, EV sales in Canberra surged by 50%, outpacing national growth and demonstrating the city’s commitment to sustainable transportation. Electric vehicles now account for 22% of new car sales in Canberra, highlighting a significant shift toward electric mobility. With this rapid increase, establishing a comprehensive EVSE network is critical to address range anxiety—a primary concern for EV adoption.

What is EVSE?

EVSE refers to the infrastructure required to charge electric vehicles, including home chargers, public charging stations, and DC fast chargers. A robust EVSE network ensures EV drivers have access to efficient and reliable charging solutions at home, work, or on the road.

EVSE Charging Levels: An Overview

  1. Level 1 (Home-Based Charging)
    • Voltage: 120V (single-phase)
    • Charging Speed: 10-20 km of range per hour
    • Use Case: Ideal for overnight home charging.
  2. Level 2 (Public/Workplace Charging)
    • Voltage: 240V (single or three-phase)
    • Charging Speed: 20-100 km of range per hour
    • Use Case: Found in public and workplace locations.
  3. Level 3 (DC Fast Chargers)
    • Voltage: 400V–800V (DC)
    • Charging Speed: 250-1,000 km of range per hour
    • Use Case: High-traffic areas and highways for quick, long-distance travel.
