A crowdfunding campaign has helped establish an EV charger at Ravensthorpe in Western Australia (WA), about 500km south-east of Perth.
The Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA) WA branch, Horizon Power and many EV owners and community members have contributed to the Tritium 50kW charger supplied by Gemtek to connect Esperance and Perth for EV drivers.
The charger was reportedly towed there from Perth by Tesla Owners Club of Western Australia member Harald Murphy behind his Tesla Model X in an EV convoy.
Ravensthorpe’s EV charger installation follows a similar one at Lake Grace 345km south-east of Perth.
The AEVA says the Ravensthorpe charger has been set at about half power until an electricity supply upgrade happens, possibly by mid-year.
