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.

The City has installed EV chargers at the following City of Perth Parking car parks and on-street parking:

• J.H Abrahams Reserve Car Park, Hackett Drive, Crawley;

• Queens Garden Car Park, 42-62 Nelson Crescent, East Perth;

• Plain Street Car Park, 2 Plain Street, East Perth;

• On-street parking, Russell Square, Parker Street, Northbridge;

• On-street Parking, 158 Royal Street, East Perth; and

• On-street Parking opposite 132 Terrace Road Perth.

The City’s EV chargers are operated by Charge Hub. To use the chargers, customers must create an account with Charge Hub and then access them via the Charge Hub App or Charge Hub Charging Card. The Charging Card can be requested through the App. For instructions on creating an account visit Driver Guide - Account Creation | Charge Hub

The fees for use of the EV chargers were set by Council at the February Ordinary Council Meeting on 25 February 2025. The rate is 45 cents per kWh. Charge Hub charges a service fee to users, this service fee goes to Charge Hub, not the City of Perth.
