Bunnings installs EV chargers at Australian, NZ stores

Bunnings Warehouse is quietly installing electric vehicle (EV) chargers in select store parking lots across Australia and New Zealand, allowing customers to charge their cars while shopping. The rollout has begun in 14 stores across New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia, with more locations planned. Chargers include 22kW, 50kW, and 120kW options, and customers can locate them using EV charging apps. This initiative follows Bunnings' recent introduction of EV-related products, including home batteries. A recent study also revealed widespread misinformation about EV safety, with many Australians believing false claims about fire risks.
