The EV chargers are expected to supply 400km of range in 15 minutes with a power output of up to 350kW.
The fund was provided by grants from the Victorian government and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. It also includes an investment from the NRMA (National Roads and Motorists’ Association), RACQ (Royal Automobile Club of Queensland), RAC (Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia), RAA (Royal Automobile Association) and RACT (Royal Automobile Club of Tasmania).
Initially, Chargefox intends to secure 21 locations for the network with the first stations to be located in the northern-eastern towns of Euroa and Barnawartha North.
EV drivers can find the charging stations and pay for the service via the Chargefox app, the company adds.
Australian Start-up Chargefox has secured AUS$15 million to build an ultra-rapid network of charging stations for electric vehicles (EV) in the south-eastern state of Victoria. The company says the chargers will allow drivers to travel between major cities.
