With 240 new plugs across various locations including Wollongong, Sydney, Ballina, Byron Bay, and parts of Melbourne, Chargefox’s expansion represents a significant step towards making EV charging more accessible. The partnership with EVX brings the total number of chargers on the Chargefox platform to over 5,760.
