Evie networks designs, builds and operates charging infrastructure to support the future of mobility. Evie Networks partners with leading consumer brands and technology companies, including Tritium Pty Ltd.
Our Mission
Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Australia, working with key partners to build an open, customer friendly and widespread ultrafast charging network on highways, in cities and in every town.
Our Plan
Fast Cities is committed to building an ultrafast EV charging networks on highways across Australia, commencing with the Cairns to Adelaide route in 2018-2019. Across this network, each site will include two state-of-the-art locally manufactured ultrafast 350kW chargers.
Our Challenge
Australia is on the cusp of a transportation revolution, with electric vehicles, car sharing and autonomous vehicles bringing benefits in terms of productivity, jobs, balance of trade, energy security, health and emissions.
So, why aren’t Australian’s adopting electric vehicles as quickly as we thought? Australia’s current charging network is slow, patchy and unplanned, and despite conservative projections estimating between 40,000 and 140,000 EV in Australia by 2025, we are yet to establish a clear framework for meeting this demand.
In Australia, no single player is big enough to do it alone, so Fast Cities, backed by the significant resources of the St Baker Energy Innovation Fund, has committed to leading the development of an open standards, open access network, meeting the secure international standards (OPCC 1.6 or ISO 15118).
