We're an EV-friendly destination! With short distances between towns and convenient charging options, the NSW Central Coast is ideally suited to electric vehicle (EV) travel.

To support the growing number of EV drivers traveling to our destination, we've listed below the EV charging stations on the Central Coast.

The Central Coast has powered up its electric vehicle (EV) charging network in the last few years, supporting its status as one of Australia's first certified ECO Destinations, and the region is now ripe for exploring if this is your preferred mode of travel. 

New Central Coast charger site locations include Budgewoi, Kulnura, Pretty Beach, West Gosford and Wyoming where they are installed in a mix of motels, hotels, hospitality venues where visitors and locals frequent.

EV road trips across the Central Coast are certainly the more sustainable option, and with the 2026 ongoing cost of living pressure alongside fuel price pinches, it's definitely the more affordable option too.

To help you tour the Central Coast with an electric vehicle, we've gathered a list of the locations and businesses currently offering EV charging stations to guests and customers. Use this list to organise the smoothest visit from our coastline to our bushland and beyond!

And as you're keen to plan an EV-inspired road trip on the Central Coast (you are reading this article, after all), make sure you check out these two itinerary suggestions we have created for EV travellers. See two unique tour routes: Coastal curves: A waterside wander of the Central Coast and also Hinterland to high country: Central Coast slow-road escape both featuring a list of EV charging stations in this news article.
