Network overview
Founded in 2018 and backed by St Baker Energy Innovation Fund, Evie Networks set out to build the most modern Australian rapid network. Every site uses fresh Alpitronic, Kempower or Tritium PKM150 hardware, every stall is liquid-cooled, and every kWh is matched with 100% renewable energy. Evie's urban placement — supermarket forecourts, Coles Express, shopping centres — complements Chargefox's highway corridor coverage perfectly: most Australian EV drivers run both apps.
What makes Evie Networks stand out
▸Modern Alpitronic & Kempower hardware on every site
▸Dense urban placement at Coles Express and shopping centres
▸100% renewable energy
▸Strong app with live availability and queue mode
Countries served and coverage
Evie Networks operates across Australia, with notable presence in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Gold Coast, Newcastle. Sydney coverage is best around the eastern suburbs, North Shore and Northern Beaches; Melbourne is strongest in the south-east and Mornington Peninsula; Brisbane covers the CBD and Gold Coast corridor on the M1 Pacific Motorway. Highway sites include Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Goulburn, Albury–Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. The M1 Sydney–Brisbane corridor now has Evie ultra-rapid sites at roughly 200 km intervals.
Maximum charging speed and connectors
Peak power on the Evie Networks network reaches Up to 350 kW on the latest hardware. Supported connectors: CCS2, CHAdeMO. Real-world charge speed depends on your vehicle's on-board charging limit, battery state-of-charge and cell temperature — pre-conditioning the pack before arrival typically adds 20–40 kW of sustained throughput.
Pricing model
Evie Networks charges A$0.50/kWh at 50 kW DC, A$0.65/kWh at 100–150 kW DC and A$0.79/kWh at 350 kW ultra-rapid. The optional Evie subscription (A$9.99/month) drops the ultra-rapid rate to around A$0.69/kWh — break-even is one full charge per month. Idle fees of A$0.40/minute apply after 30 minutes at the most popular sites. No contactless surcharge. Roaming via Plugshare and AmpUp works but adds 5–10%.
App and contactless requirements
The Evie Networks app (iOS/Android) is the cleanest in the Australian market — live availability, queue mode (lets you wait without losing your spot), receipts via email and Apple/Google Pay integration. Newer Alpitronic and Kempower stalls also accept contactless tap-to-pay directly. Plug-and-charge is rolling out on the ultra-rapid stalls through 2026, currently supported on Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Polestar 2.
Reliability and uptime
Evie Networks publishes a public uptime figure of 98%, validated by independent Plugshare data. The all-Alpitronic/Kempower fleet is one of the most reliable in Australia — hardware is liquid-cooled and rated for 35 °C ambient at full kW. Heat throttling above 40 °C is minimal compared with Tritium first-generation stalls. The Brisbane-based 24/7 support line answers in under two minutes.
Best use case
Evie Networks is the strongest urban and metro-area rapid network in Australia. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Gold Coast residents who don't have home charging will use Evie for 80% of their stops thanks to dense Coles Express and shopping-centre placement. For coast-to-coast travel, pair Evie with Chargefox — Evie shines in cities, Chargefox shines on highway corridors. Less ideal for outback or Tasmanian rural touring, where Chargefox and Tesla Supercharger have more sites.
Compatible vehicles
Every CCS2 and CHAdeMO EV works at Evie Networks. The ultra-rapid 350 kW stalls deliver full speed to 800-volt EVs (Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6) and on-board-limit speeds to 400-volt cars like Tesla Model 3/Y, BYD Atto 3, MG4 and Polestar 2.

Frequently asked questions
Is Evie Networks better than Chargefox?
Different strengths. Evie is denser in metro areas (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) with newer hardware. Chargefox owns the highway-corridor coverage and offers free access to motoring-club members. Most Australian EV drivers use both apps.
How fast is an Evie ultra-rapid charger?
Up to 350 kW. A Kia EV6 charges 10–80% in around 18 minutes, a Tesla Model Y in 27 minutes.
Does Evie Networks accept contactless?
On newer Alpitronic and Kempower stalls, yes. The Evie app offers cheaper rates with subscription, plus a queue mode that holds your spot in busy locations.
Is Evie really 100% renewable?
Yes — every kWh is contractually matched with renewable supply, primarily wind and large-scale solar.
Can a Tesla use Evie Networks?
Yes, native CCS2 with no adapter. Performance models hit their on-board 250 kW limit on Evie's 350 kW stalls.
Where can I find Evie Networks sites?
Best app coverage in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth metro areas; highway corridors include Sydney–Brisbane M1 and Sydney–Melbourne Hume Highway.
