Brisbane’s world-class EV charger testing facility

An electric vehicle charger testing facility containing one of the world’s largest and highest-powered electromagnetic compatibility testing chambers has opened in Brisbane. The facility was officially opened on 22 November at Tritium’s Murarrie headquarters.

Tritium is changing the face of the global electric vehicle industry. The facility will allow the company to more rapidly test and deploy chargers and increase its speed to market.

Tritium is a Queensland success story, contributing to Queensland’s economic recovery and highlighting the state’s strength in EV tech on the world stage. The opening of the facility is a huge milestone for the company, which won the 2018 Premier of Queensland’s Exporter of the Year Award.

The company is now making waves globally; just last month, Tritium was named chargepoint manufacturer of the year at a UK awards event.

The Queensland Government had committed to another 18 charging stations across the state’s inland regions in Phase 3 of the Queensland Electric Super Highway. Phase 3 will extend from Mount Isa in the West to Goondiwindi in the South, using Tritium’s new market-leading 75kW chargers. It’s expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

The place that can conquer this technology first will be the place the world turns to as the industry grows. Queensland is not only the first state in Australia to develop an EV strategy, but it has revolutionised electric vehicle travel through delivering the Queensland Electric Super Highway.

The growing global demand for renewable energy – and all the machinery that uses it – will mean more jobs in more industries right here in Queensland.
