Moreland Council’s newest public electric vehicle charging hub at 13-15 Edward Street, Brunswick is attracting the highest number of charge sessions per month of any charging station in Australia.
The new charging hub, which opened in May 2020, brings Moreland’s total tally of public electric vehicle chargers to 16. Moreland has the highest number of free-to-use public EV chargers owned and operated by Council of any municipality in Victoria. All electricity used to charge vehicles is renewable, sourced from the Crowlands Wind Farm.
The popularity of electric vehicles in Moreland is rapidly growing. In 2018, Council’s network of public chargers saw less than 10 charging sessions per month. March 2021 saw 725 charging sessions across the network.
