On-street EV charging in Gordon and Killara

Ku-ring-gai Council is seeking your feedback on proposed new on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging locations in Gordon and Killara.

We're inviting residents, business owners, and visitors to review and comment on the proposed EV Charger sites to ensure they best meet the needs of the local community.

What is being proposed?

Two experienced EV Charge Point Operators (CPOs) — ChargePost and Plus ES — have received NSW Government funding to install on-street pole-mounted chargers across Ku-ring-gai.

On-street EV charging refers to chargers installed directly on the street, usually at the kerbside or on power poles.

These chargers will:

• Be fully funded by NSW Government and CPO Operators — no cost to Council or ratepayers
• Operate on a user-pays model, with prices set by the provider
• Be located in areas where people typically park for 2+ hours
• Be installed in existing public parking spaces
• Provide up to 22 kW of power
• Use Type 2 connectors (bring your own cable)
• Be a single or dual bay charger, depending on the location.

Why is this project happening?

Electric vehicle ownership is growing rapidly across Ku-ring-gai, with many residents making the switch to cleaner, more efficient transport. As of July 2025, more than 1 in 20 vehicles in Ku-ring-gai are now electric – more than three times the state average. However, not everyone has access to home charging — especially:

• Apartment or townhouse residents
• Renters without garage access
• Households with only on-street parking
• Visitors to the area

On-street EV charging will help close this gap, making EV use more accessible to all residents.
