Mirvac and Ampol Partner up for First AmpCharge Destination Fast Chargers

Sydney – Thursday 29 June

Mirvac and Ampol have partnered on an important sustainability initiative that will see Ampol install its first AmpCharge electric vehicle charging bays outside of its service stations, throughout Mirvac's retail portfolio, with the first installation to take place in late-2023. Paving the way for other shopping centres, the Ampol AmpCharge bays will provide millions of customers with greater access to best-in-class EV charging infrastructure. 


Mirvac first rolled out EV charging services for customers six years ago and this partnership with Ampol will more than double the number of charging bays across the property group’s retail destinations, including Broadway Sydney, South Eveleigh and Orion Springfield Central, offering a range of customer charging options.


Mirvac Retail General Manager Kelly Miller said: "Since launching fast charges, Mirvac has seen a significant rise in usage of charging stations across the portfolio, with a 60% increase in customer utilisation in the past year.


"Mirvac's partnership with Ampol represents a significant milestone in electrification with two major Australian companies coming together to drive the use of more sustainable vehicles. We recognise it is our responsibility to provide our customers with more sustainable solutions and convenient access to green innovation."


Mirvac Retail was the first Australian shopping centre portfolio to procure 100% renewable electricity across its shopping centres in January 2021 and this latest announcement is another step to the company realising its goal to be carbon net positive in scope 3 emissions by 2030, with the company reaching its Scope 1 and 2 emissions target in 2021, nine years ahead of schedule. 


Ampol Executive General Manager, International and New Business, Brent Merrick, said: "Ampol continues to build its AmpCharge network so customers can charge with us wherever and whenever they need. This partnership with Mirvac will allow us to expand our offer beyond the forecourt to destinations like Mirvac's leading property network. We look forward to commencing roll-out of this infrastructure over the coming months."


This agreement will form part of Ampol’s initial commitment to deliver over 300 AmpCharge EV charging bays at more than 100 sites across Australia. The energy used by AmpCharge EV chargers will be 100% offset by Large Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) to net the equivalent electricity consumption.
