Electric Vehicles (EV) Charging Stations
The transport sector contributes significantly to carbon pollution and greenhouse gas emissions across the Shoalhaven LGA, making up approximately 26% of community emissions. Unlike internal combustion engine vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly more efficient, create zero tailpipe emissions, can be charged at home and can be powered by 100% renewable electricity. The EV transition in NSW continues to gain momentum as battery prices fall, innovations scale, and market offerings increase.
Under the EV Charging Stations on Public Land Policy, Council has committed to support and encourage the increased uptake of EVs. Appropriately scoped, sited, installed, and managed EV charging stations support local businesses, increase tourism opportunities and help protect and enhance the environment.
As such, Council will support the electrification of transport by facilitating the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) on public places, where it is appropriate, safe, and implemented in a sustainable manner. This infrastructure will be managed as a long-term community asset.
This project page hosts the past, present and future Council EV Charging Infrastructure projects throughout the Shoalhaven LGA and will be the central location for individual project details, feedback and updates.

Thank you to everyone who took part in Council's recent EV Charging Stations consultation. Your input has helped shape the future of electric vehicle infrastructure across Shoalhaven.
Over the 28-day consultation period (13 March – 10 April 2026), we saw strong engagement from our community:
• 1,761 residents visited the Get Involved project page
• 160 community members shared their feedback – our strongest response yet for an EV charging consultation
• 91% supported EV charging at the Civic Centre Carpark, Ulladulla, with 70% likely to use the stations
• 90% supported EV charging at Burton St Mall, Vincentia, with 64% likely to use themThis is just a snapshot of the insights we heard.

Have your say on two proposed EV charging stations
New electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are proposed for Council car parks in Ulladulla and Vincentia and we’d appreciate your feedback.
The delivery of the new fast-charging stations aims to strengthen coverage across the Shoalhaven and support EV adoption by providing more reliable charging options for residents and visitors.
This consultation follows a successful grant application from the State Government by the NRMA, with the NRMA responsible for the cost of the installation, infrastructure, signage and maintenance.
The two locations for the proposed EV charging stations are:
- Burton Street Mall car park in Vincentia
- The Civic Centre and library car park on the Princes Highway in Ulladulla
