Stockland has partnered with Ampol to roll out electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across its town centres.
Customers and tenants at Stockland town centres will soon have access to over 100 AmpCharge fast and ultra-fast charging bays across 16 retail town centres. These bays will allow customers to fully charge their cars in about 60 minutes or less.
Stockland Managing Director and CEO Tarun Gupta says the partnership is in line with the enterprise’s ESG strategy, which is focused on innovation, scale and economically sustainable solutions.
“Across our portfolio, we are continually exploring ways in which we can support our customers’ transition to a low-carbon future. Last year, our town centres saw nearly 1.8 million visits on average each week, and as the uptake of EVs grows in Australia, we will be providing customers with simple and accessible charging,” he says.
“Our ESG strategy is where our ambition meets tangible, real-world actions – actions that can facilitate more connected, resilient and future-ready communities. This partnership provides an opportunity for us to expand the roll-out of EV charging infrastructure across Stockland’s workplaces and communities in the future, making it easier for people to charge their vehicles wherever they live, work, socialise or shop.”
Ampol Managing Director and CEO Matt Halliday says Ampol is continuing the expansion of its AmpCharge network as more EV drivers seek convenient places to charge, wherever and whenever they need.
“This new partnership enables us to broaden our EV infrastructure network to Stockland’s diversified property portfolio, marking a significant progression in our commitment to supporting our customers and partners as they navigate their energy transition journeys,” he says.
“We look forward to rolling out this critical infrastructure to accommodate an ever-growing number of EVs on our roads.”
The EV charging infrastructure will be installed across Stockland’s town centres over the coming 18 months, with the number of charging bays per centre ranging from six to 12 based on current customer demand. Each AmpCharge charger can service two cars, providing one car up to 150kW or two cars up to 75kW when charging simultaneously.
