Perth EV drivers, your next charging pitstop has arrived. A brand-new public DC charging hub is officially live at Jandakot Airport Retail Hub, bringing much-needed high-speed infrastructure to one of the busiest aviation and commercial precincts in Western Australia.
Delivered in cooperation with asset managers Dexus and the team at Jandakot Airport, this charging hub bridges a crucial gap for electric vehicle drivers traveling through Perth’s southern corridors. Here is a look at what this new station brings to the local charging landscape and how you can use it on your next trip.
High-Speed Kempower Hardware: Installed by EVSE Australia
Arriving at an airport or industrial precinct usually means settling for slow AC charging while away from home. This installation rewrites the script by deploying cutting-edge Kempower DC fast-charging technology. Known for its dynamic power management and sleek, user-friendly satellite designs, the Kempower setup ensures that energy is distributed efficiently across the station’s ports.
Whether you are a flight school student catching up on simulator hours, a commercial worker operating in the business park, or a driver pulling off Roe Highway for a quick top-up, this fast charger can add significant range to your vehicle in under 30 minutes.
The charger is located in the Retail Precinct next to the Spudshed, Liquor Shed & Good Price Pharmacy
Seamless Software: Australia’s best Charging network – Exploren
Hardware is only as good as the software managing it. The Jandakot hub is fully integrated into the Exploren network—one of Australia’s fastest-growing charging and management platforms.
For everyday drivers, this setup prioritises reliability and upfront transparency:
• Real-Time Visibility: Open the Exploren app to check live bay availability, current charging speeds, and precise pricing tariffs before you even pull into the airport grounds.
• No Subscriptions Required: While the app provides a highly detailed breakdown of your charging session (tracking duration and total kilowatt-hours delivered), drivers can initiate a charge ad-hoc by scanning the QR code directly on the terminal.
• Smart Load Management: Behind the scenes, Exploren’s software actively monitors station health and handles energy distribution, ensuring stable uptime and zero guesswork when you plug in.
The Broader Impact on Western Australia’s EV Future
The activation of the Jandakot Airport public hub coincides with a massive push for vehicle electrification across Western Australia. In addition to public hubs like this one, the nearby Jandakot Transperth bus depot is undergoing a massive $9.6 million overhaul to support up to 90 electric transit buses by late 2026.
From regional highway networks to critical suburban transit infrastructure, the expansion of high-powered charging facilities is rapidly transforming Perth into a highly accessible landscape for zero-emissions transportation.
How to Charge at Jandakot Airport Retail
Getting a top-up at the new site takes four quick steps:
1. Park & Plug: Pull into the clearly marked charging bays and connect the DC cable firmly to your vehicle’s charging port.
2. Scan the QR Code: Open your smartphone camera or the Exploren mobile application to scan the code displayed on the Kempower terminal.
3. Confirm Payment: Check the live tariff rate on your screen and select your preferred secure payment method.
4. Monitor and Track: Hit ‘Start Charging’ in the app to watch your range climb in real-time, then unplug when you are ready to head back onto the road.
