The Australian Energy Market Commission has released a draft rule supporting a $40 million Federal Government program aimed at installing about 14,000 chargers in areas where charging infrastructure is lacking.
The Commonwealth would cover about 30 per cent of the cost, with electricity networks able to recover the remaining 70 per cent from consumers.
AEMC chair Anna Collyer said the commission believed the benefits of the program would outweigh the cost to consumers.
The chargers would be targeted at regional charging blackspots and high-density city areas where residents may not have access to off-street parking.
Private charging operators would get first opportunity to install chargers at identified sites.
The proposal means electricity consumers would help fund the rollout regardless of whether they own an EV.
