The City is committed to working towards net zero emissions as an organisation. This includes supporting the community’s contributions to overall emissions reductions by providing convenient City of Perth Parking Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations for our residents and visitors to use.

As part of this commitment and the trial of seven new EV charging stations in select pay-by-plate car parks and on-street parking bays. The City is upgrading our EV charging stations in City of Perth Parking boom-gate entry car parks.

While the chargers are being upgraded, EV charging will be unavailable at these locations, during the below dates:

The upgraded charging stations will be AC 3 phase, up to 22kW, 32 Amp ‘level 2’ chargers, and are operated by Charge Hub. 

Electric Vehicle Charging Fees

From the 9 June 2025 a fee of 45 cents per kWh will apply to the use the EV charging stations in our boom-gate entry car parks.
