Ampol to buy Evie in EV charging push
Original: range anxiety
Ampol has announced it will acquire Evie Networks, one of Australia's largest electric vehicle charging operators, in a move that would give the fuel giant a national fast-charging network alongside its petrol stations. The deal comes as drivers continue to voice range anxiety — the fear of running out of charge on long trips — with more chargers expected to ease concerns and encourage EV uptake.
Why now: The acquisition is topical because expanding charging networks directly addresses range anxiety, a key barrier to EV adoption in Australia.
