The ACT Government announced on 4 November 2026 that three new EV charging stations have opened in Belconnen. Each site has four charging bays, and one includes an accessible bay. The territory now has 330 public charging bays and has passed 20,000 registered EVs.
The New Belconnen Sites
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| New stations | 3 (Belconnen Town Centre x2, Charnwood shops) |
| Bays per site | 4, including an accessible bay at one site |
| Fast-charging locations in Belconnen | From 2 to 5 |
| Fast-charging bays in Belconnen | 24 |
| Public bays in the ACT | 330 |
| Registered EVs in the ACT | 20,000 |
The government says the sites help apartment residents of the town centre who may find it hard to charge at home. The stations were delivered by two operators.
More to Come
A further 90 public charging bays will be delivered across the ACT over the next few years, supported by the ACT Government’s Public EV Charging Infrastructure Fund. The fund aims to fill gaps in the network. The government also lists low-cost slow charging, more accessible bays and chargers at some of Canberra’s most-visited attractions as priorities.
What It Means
Apartment-dwellers are the group most reliant on shared charging. For residential buildings and town-centre car parks, multi-connector AC units like the EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station (two Type 2 connectors, OCPP 1.6J, RFID) can serve several users from one connection point, and our EV-RHDC30K-L compact DC charger (about 20–30 kW, OCPP 1.6J) covers smaller fast-charging spots.
