EV charging refers to the process of recharging an electric vehicle’s battery using an external power source. Unlike petrol/diesel powered vehicles that require fuel to be added at a petrol station, electric vehicles rely on an electric charge to power their batteries.

Electric vehicle charging can be done either at home, depending on the type of EV vehicle or at public charging stations, which are becoming increasingly common in many cities and towns.

EV charging can be done using various methods, including plug-in charging, wireless charging, and battery swapping. As electric vehicles become more popular, the availability and accessibility of charging stations will continue to grow, making it easier for drivers to charge their vehicles on the go.

The Queensland Government is currently rolling out more EV charging stations throughout western Queensland to add to the extensive network already set up along the East Coast on what is called the Queensland Electric Super Highway.

If you are looking for more information on the types of EV chargers, how to choose your electric vehicle and more, there is an extensive range of information on the RACQ website.
