The Government is shifting the way it supports EV charging infrastructure away from the grant co-funding that has traditionally been used.

Instead, the Government is considering alternative co-investment approaches that maximise private sector investment and enable the recycling of Crown capital, such as concessionary loans.

This Request for Information (RFI) process will gather information to inform a recommended co-investment approach to be considered by Cabinet.

It is being run by EECA on behalf of the cross-government Supercharging EV Infrastructure Taskforce, which includes the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Ministry of Transport and Crown Infrastructure Partners.

The work to update the government’s co-investment approach is part of a wider Supercharging EV Infrastructure work programme which aims to address barriers to private investment and accelerate the public charging infrastructure rollout.

Submissions

Chargepoint operators and investors are invited to make submissions through the Government Electronic Tendering Service (GETS).

The RFI closes for submissions on Friday 25 October.
