Redbank

Overview

Redbank Village, a new shopping destination in Richmond NSW, has become home to one of the area’s most powerful public EV chargers. Installed, owned, and operated by Exploren, Australia’s fastest-growing charging network, the centre is delivering more than just convenience. It’s giving local EV drivers peace of mind, tackling the shortage of chargers in the area, and positioning Redbank as a true community hub for progress.

The Opportunity

Richmond drivers have long faced a shortage of fast and reliable charging options. Redbank Village, keen to create a thriving hub for the community, partnered with Exploren to host a powerful 180kW dual port DC charger on site. The result is more than just charging infrastructure, it’s a service that welcomes EV drivers, strengthens Redbank’s appeal as a shopping destination, and supports the growing shift to sustainable transport.

Now, most EV drivers can plug in and recharge in just 30 minutes, making EV ownership more practical and stress free for the wider community.

Powered by Exploren

As the network operator, Exploren ensures the charger is always working at its best. With live monitoring, automatic fault alerts, and remote servicing, drivers can rely on a smooth experience every time they plug in. Simple payments options, real-time updates, and transparent pricing mean that EV drivers know exactly what to expect, reliability and convenience without compromise.

For Redbank, hosting a charger through Exploren removes the hassle of management while still adding revenue and new visitors to the centre. It’s a partnership where everyone benefits: the site host, the drivers, and the community.

The Results

As one of the only high-powered public chargers in Richmond, it’s drawing both locals and travellers who can now stop, charge, and shop all in one place. With dual charging capability, two vehicles can top up at the same time, reducing wait times and making sustainable transport easier than ever.

Why It Matters

As an Exploren site host, Redbank Village is playing a vital role in closing the infrastructure gap that has held back EV adoption in Richmond. The project doesn’t just provide convenience, it creates confidence for current and future EV drivers while delivering more foot traffic for Redbank’s retailers. It’s a step that shows how local businesses and Exploren together can lead the way toward a greener tomorrow.
