Local notes
Charging in Sydney and around New South Wales
- A licensed electrician must do any new outlet or circuit and give you a CCEW for the work.
- Lots of Sydneysiders live in apartments and strata. A portable charger on a car-space outlet is often the simplest start: the strata guide.
- Street parking is common in the inner city. Running a cable across a footpath raises trip-hazard and council questions: options without a driveway.

Can I charge an EV from a normal power point in New South Wales?
