EV Chargers in Tasmania
Every public charging site listed for Tasmania, plus who to call when you're stuck on the side of the road.
Tasmania rewards EV driving — short distances, cheap hydro power — and punishes complacency, because the charger network is thin once you leave the Hobart–Launceston–Devonport triangle. Chargefox operates most of the fast chargers on the island, with a handful of Evie and other sites filling gaps. The east coast run through Bicheno and the west coast wilds both need actual planning: chargers exist, but not in reserve.
The listings below come from Open Charge Map, a community-maintained dataset. Confirm a site is online in the network’s app before you rely on it; on Tasmanian back roads the next option can be an hour away, and winter cold will trim your real-world range at exactly the wrong moment.
For breakdowns, RACT covers the whole state with no distance limits on constructed roads — out-of-charge means a tow to the nearest charger under your plan’s normal entitlement. The full directory below lists RACT first, then manufacturer and insurer programs that operate in Tasmania. If you’re in a dangerous spot, deal with safety before phones: hazards on, get clear of the road.
