Empowering Dealerships and EV Repairers: DRIVEN Program’s Charger Rebates

Australia’s automotive sector is revving up for a greener future with the DRIVEN program, a government-backed initiative aimed at speeding up the nation’s shift to electric vehicles (EVs). With $60 million allocated over four years, the program is set to transform dealerships and EV repair shops, helping them gear up for the growing demand for electric mobility.

Starting in early 2025, the DRIVEN Charger Rebate Stream will make it easier for businesses to purchase and install smart EV chargers at eligible locations, giving a significant boost to their EV servicing capabilities.

The DRIVEN program doesn’t just promise change—it delivers with generous financial support for EV infrastructure:

• Rebates up to $20,000 per site for eligible dealerships and EV repairers.

• Dual-function sites (operating as both a dealership and a service center) can claim up to $40,000 in rebates.

• Licensed motor vehicle dealers and traders across Australia are welcome to apply.

• Multi-site businesses can submit applications for each of their eligible locations.

This funding, part of a larger $40 million rebate pool, is designed to help the industry embrace electrification, one charger at a time.

The DRIVEN program isn’t just about installing chargers—it’s about building the backbone of Australia’s EV ecosystem. By reducing the financial barriers for dealerships and repairers, the initiative aims to create a more EV-friendly environment nationwide. Whether it’s selling EVs, servicing them, or repairing them, this program ensures businesses are equipped to meet the needs of an electrified future.

The rebates come as part of the Australian Government’s Driving the Nation Fund, a strategic effort to fast-track the transition to electric mobility while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
