EV Charging Stations in South Australia

Public EV chargers in South Australia are located in many shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, car parks and petrol stations.

Three examples of chargers at those kinds of sites:

• UPark Rundle Street — 163–185 Rundle Street³, Adelaide SA 5000⁴. 11 × 22 kW and 12 × 7 kW Type 2 charge points on the RAA Charge network; bring your own cable and pay through the Chargefox app, with car-park fees charged on top of charging⁵.
• OTR Bordertown Tesla Supercharger — 2 Dukes Highway, Bordertown SA 5268⁶. Four Supercharger stalls at up to 250 kW with CCS2 plugs, open 24/7 at the OTR service station⁷.
• Stamford Grand Adelaide — 2 Jetty Road, Glenelg SA 5045⁸. Two Tesla destination chargers at up to 11 kW, available 24/7 to hotel guests and customers⁹, Tesla-only and behind a boom gate⁸.

The South Australian government backed RAA with a $12.35 million grant to build a statewide charging network¹⁰ of 144 charging sites with more than 550 plugs, completed in July 2025¹¹, in addition to the privately owned stations. Together with those private networks, the number of EV charging sites in Adelaide and South Australia has grown sharply since 2019.

The Electric Vehicle Council counted 136 public fast and ultra-fast charging locations in South Australia in mid-2025¹², up from 51 in mid-2023¹³ and just 4 DC fast-charging sites in 2019¹⁴. The state-backed RAA Charge network alone now covers 144 sites with more than 550 plugs¹¹, 100 of them in regional South Australia¹⁰.
