Australia’s EV Charging Bottleneck: Why Drivers Are Still Waiting, and What Needs to Change

At Harwood, NSW, 21 Teslas lined up for just four Superchargers. Some drivers waited three hours for a 40-minute top-up. It’s a snapshot of a growing problem: Australia’s EV adoption is outpacing its charging infrastructure.

Most stations were retrofitted into old car parks and fuel sites. They weren’t designed for dwell time, comfort, or high-volume traffic. Drivers end up sitting in their cars with no shade, no restrooms, and no way to make use of the wait.

Overseas, networks have already adapted. In Europe, modular charging lounges are standard—comfortable, self-serve, and open 24/7. They generate revenue and keep drivers happy. Australia needs to follow suit.

At Sirius Buildings, we’re focused on that solution. Our Sirius Charging Lounge combines modular architecture with premium amenities, allowing vendors to deploy facilities faster and give EV drivers the experience they deserve.

The future of EV travel isn’t just faster charging. It’s smarter, sustainable, and made for people as much as for cars.
