Manjimup and Walpole set to be home to two new electric vehicle charging stations

New electric vehicle charging stations will be installed in two locations across the Shire of Manjimup, forming part of the nation’s longest electric highway.

The Shire of Manjimup endorsed the EV charging stations that will be installed in Johnston Crescent in Manjimup and in Pioneer Park in Walpole, making up two out of 49 locations in the WA EV network stretching from Kununurra to Esperance and east to Kalgoorlie.

Synergy will own, install and maintain the new EV charging stations within the Shire.

The EV charging stations will allow electric vehicles to charge up in as little as 15 minutes and allow EVs to be more accessible for longer journeys across the region.

The initiative is part of the State Government’s Electric Vehicle Action Plan that was released in August last year.

The network is planned to include 98 EV charging stations no more than 200km apart across the State by early 2024.
