Chris Bowen claims EV policy ‘just starting to hit its stride’

Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen says two-thirds of the electric vehicles on Australian roads have been sold under the Albanese government as he admitted infrastructure and equipment need to “keep up”. “We have got 90 per cent more chargers out there than we had two Christmases ago,” Mr Bowen told Sky News Australia Chief News Anchor Kieran Gilbert on Monday. “This is just a bit of a quarterly update to say 100 new chargers in the first quarter. “Our driving the nation policy is really only just starting to hit its strides now. “We are putting chargers in where, in many instances, there is not even an electricity grid, so that takes some management and some planning.”
