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.

Chargefox CEO Rebecca Stenhouse highlighted that kerbside charging is crucial for improving accessibility and convenience in urban areas where off-street parking isn’t always available. This initiative aligns with broader efforts by Australian motoring services to support EV adoption across the country.

The integration of EVX chargers comes shortly after Chargefox added over 150 pole-mounted chargers from AGL, another major player in Australia’s energy market. Both moves demonstrate a growing trend towards consolidation and standardization within the rapidly expanding EV charging sector.

This expansion is part of Chargefox’s ongoing efforts to enhance its coverage and accessibility for electric vehicle owners nationwide, making it easier than ever before to find a place to charge your car on-the-go.

The updated XPeng G6, currently available in Australia, will receive an upgrade with refreshed exterior styling, including new front and rear lighting units and alloy wheels. Inside, the touchscreen has grown from 14.9 inches to 15.6 inches, along with a redesigned dashboard featuring ambient lighting and higher-quality materials.

The G6 Standard Range’s battery capacity will increase from 66kWh to 68.5kWh, extending its WLTP range from 435km to 470km. The Long Range variant, however, will see a reduction in battery size and driving range but an increase in power output.

The X9 electric people mover is the second model set for release mid-2026. Offering up to seven seats and featuring an 800-volt architecture, it uses either a 94.8kWh LFP or 105kWh NMC battery pack for extended range capabilities. The interior includes electrically adjustable captain’s chairs in the second row and high-quality materials.

The G9L large SUV will be introduced by year-end 2026, providing a spacious cabin and advanced technology features to cater to the growing demand for larger EVs in Australia. Pricing details for all models have yet to be announced.

With these new models, XPeng aims to strengthen its position in Australia’s competitive EV market and cater to diverse customer needs.

According to iSelect’s analysis, Sydney has eight of Australia’s top ten most expensive toll roads, with the WestConnex M4 leading in revenue generation and price hikes. The WestConnex M4 is projected to earn $1.88 billion in 2025, marking a significant increase from previous years.

The survey also highlighted Brisbane’s Go Between Bridge as the most expensive per kilometre at an astounding $13.50/km for its short distance of just 300 metres. This contrasts sharply with longer toll roads like Sydney’s Eastern Distributor ($1.69/km) and NorthConnex ($1.13/km), which offer better value despite their higher overall costs.

Comparatively, Melbourne’s CityLink charges up to $12.25 per trip for its 22km route, making it the most expensive toll road in Australia based on total cost. However, when considering expense per kilometre, Brisbane’s Go Between Bridge takes the lead at an exorbitant rate.

The study found that Sydney’s WestConnex M4 has seen the fastest year-on-year toll increase, rising faster than inflation. This trend is mirrored across several other toll roads in Australia, indicating a growing financial burden on drivers despite varying lengths and locations of these toll roads.

These findings underscore a growing trend of increasing toll costs across major cities in Australia, with significant variations in pricing and value based on distance and location.
