Between federal schemes, NSW programs and network incentives, there's usually something that reduces the cost of an EV charging or solar project. Working out which ones apply to your site is the hard part.
Where support comes from
Most projects draw on more than one. The mix depends on who owns the site, what sector you're in, and whether the charging is for your own vehicles or the public.
National-level grants and tax treatments aimed at fleet electrification, charging infrastructure and business energy efficiency.
NSW-specific grants and co-funding for charging infrastructure, often targeted at particular property types or regions.
Network businesses sometimes support connections that help them manage demand — controlled load tariffs, demand response arrangements, or connection contributions.
Solar and battery installations can attract certificate-based support that reduces the upfront cost, handled through your installer at the point of sale.
Practical help
Some programs are worth the paperwork and some aren't. As part of your site assessment we'll flag which schemes your project plausibly fits, what evidence they need, and whether the timing works against your install schedule.
Getting the order right
The single most common way businesses miss out is signing a contract or starting work before an application is lodged. Most programs won't fund work already underway.
Site assessment and a quote you can attach to an application — most programs want a costed scope, not an estimate.
Confirm the program is open, your entity type qualifies, and the site meets any location or access conditions.
Get the application in before signing the works contract. Retrospective claims are usually refused.
We install, then provide the invoices, compliance certificates and photos most programs require to release funds.
Common questions
[CONFIRM — state whether Atlas prepares applications, assists with documentation only, or refers to a consultant.] We can always provide the costed scope, specifications and compliance documents an application needs.
Sometimes, but not always — many programs explicitly exclude projects funded by another scheme. This has to be checked against the specific guidelines for each program in the year you apply.
No. We're electrical contractors and suppliers, not tax agents or financial advisers. Anything on this page is general information about publicly available programs — check the treatment of a specific measure with your accountant.
Approved applications are usually honoured under the terms you were approved on, but funding rounds do close without notice. That's the main reason we recommend lodging early rather than waiting for a perfect scope.
Send us the property details and we'll tell you which programs are plausibly in scope — and which ones aren't worth the paperwork.
