Electricity network providers are pushing the NSW government to relax rules blocking them from entering the Sydney EV charger market, arguing the city’s rollout is falling behind as drivers struggle to find somewhere to plug in.

The electricity network providers want to be able to compete with their own customers, and that's the claim they're using to justify it. That doesn't make it true.

Meanwhile, those same network providers are often taking months to get around to grid upgrades to connect new fast chargers. I think the one at Erina Fair was sitting there for six months before it finally went live.
