Charging stations in Canberra CBD
Frequently asked questions
Pricing follows each network's verified per-kWh rate rather than per-site pricing — the station cards above link to the network's current pricing page. As a rule of thumb, AC destination charging runs 25–45¢/kWh and DC fast charging 50–70¢/kWh in ACT. Jolt kerbside sites include 7kWh free per day where available.
Set up Chargefox and Evie before you arrive — between them they cover the large majority of DC sites nationally. Add PlugShare for live stall status and check-in history. If a Tesla Supercharger (open access) or Jolt kerbside unit appears in the list above, you'll need those apps too.
Yes — AC (Type 2, 7–22kW) charging is listed in the station cards above where available. AC suits stops over two hours: dinner, shopping, or overnight. For road trips through Canberra CBD, prioritise the DC sites and treat AC as the backup.
Open PlugShare and look for successful check-ins in the last 48 hours — no recent check-ins means treat the site as unreliable. Each station card links to its network's page, where live stall status is shown in the network app. Critical stops above list the nearest backup.
