NRMA one step ahead as Tritium exits
07 May, 2024
NRMA addresses exit of EV charger manufacturer Tritium, which entered voluntary administration in April 2024.
Tritium has announced it will seek a buy out after being placed under voluntary administration in April 2024. The NRMA is working closely with the administrators, to work through a solution for the supply and maintenance of its chargers.
The NRMA’s focus remains on expanding the national EV charging network, jointly funded by the NRMA as well as the federal, NSW and Queensland governments.
What will happen to existing sites with Tritium fast chargers?
Tritium fast chargers currently make up a significant proportion of the NRMA’s charging network. With the earliest of those now reaching their end of life, there are already plans in place to upgrade certain charging locations with units made by other manufacturers.
Newer units and in particular those still under warranty will remain online.
Regarding the upgrade of the older units, there may be grid and space restrictions at certain existing locations that rule out a straight swap of hardware.
Efforts will be made to identify alternative solutions where necessary, and priority will be given to the busiest of these to continue providing EV owners in Australia with certainty when hitting the open road.
Support on the road when you need it
While the NRMA continues its work providing Australia with a national EV charging network, we’ll also continue to support EV owners who are already out there travelling around Australia with zero tailpipe emissions, helping Australia’s air become cleaner, and our transport sector more sustainable.
In the meantime, find out more about how to plan an EV road trip to ensure a smooth journey.
