What this group is

From the station records

A shopping trip is a 40-minute stop, which is long enough for a meaningful DC top-up and far longer than an AC session needs. The mix here reflects that: AC at most sites, but DC fast at a substantial minority.

Prices vary by owner, and a few sites validate parking for charging customers. The per-kWh figure on the record is the network's, not the center's.

By place type in this group

Counts are stations, not plugs. A station can list more than one connector or network, so it can appear in more than one hub. Prices are the networks' own tariffs and can change by time of day. Counts from the directory data of October 2026.

Shopping centers: common questions

Coverage, power and price

How many EV charging stations are at shopping centers?

EVDIR lists 103 public stations at shopping centers, across 7 states and 101 cities, with 276 charging stalls. 69 are recorded as open around the clock.

Are shopping centers chargers open to the public?

Not always. The directory lists a station because our records do, and some sites — a residents' garage, a staff parking lot, a dealer's forecourt — are not open to anyone who drives in. The station page carries the access line and the hours the record holds, so check it before planning a stop.

How fast are the chargers at shopping centers?

18 stations are AC (under 50 kW), 75 are DC fast at 50 kW or more, and 53 reach 150 kW or more. The peak power on a station page is what the record shows for that site.

How much does it cost to charge at shopping centers?

99 of them quote a per-kWh price, with a median of A$0.69 and 17 at A$0.50 or less. The price is set by the site's owner, so two hotels in the same city can charge differently.
