Kerbside Electric Vehicle Charging Trial Across Victoria
The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has approved a trial to integrate electric vehicle infrastructure into local energy networks.
CitiPower, Powercor, and United Energy (CPU) will install up to 100 kerbside EV chargers, including at least five vehicle-to-grid (V2G) units, across Victoria until mid-2031.
The $1.2 million pilot aims to manage voltage stability, relieve network congestion, and shift demand away from peak periods without impacting customer bills.

Clare Savage, Chair at AER, said the regulator had weighed stakeholder feedback carefully.
