3rd ANNUAL
EV Infrastructure Summit

Scaling reliable public charging. Readying the grid. Unlocking value.

10-11 June 2026 | Doltone House Darling Island, Sydney

About the Event

This is Australia’s flagship Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Summit, uniting 350+ developers, owners, operators, fleets and technology leaders driving the future of charging services. Now in its third year, the Summit has become the sector’s most trusted forum for practical insight, strategic clarity and commercially grounded solutions across both public and private charging networks.

Over the next 12–18 months, the decisions made by charging operators, developers and fleets will directly shape asset performance, risk profiles and long-term value. The EV Infrastructure Summit is the national meeting place where the organisations that own, operate, develop, fund and advise on EV charging infrastructure gather to compare strategies, interpret market shifts and make better decisions faster.

You will leave with clearer insight, actionable frameworks, and stronger industry connections to help you navigate 2026 and beyond with confidence.
