ivygo Launches Charge 2515: bringing community-powered EV Charging in Thirroul and Surrounds!

June 17, 2025
By Ellie Tsui

As electric vehicles become a more common sight on our streets, a crucial question emerges: how do we ensure that convenient and reliable charging is accessible to everyone? At ivygo, we believe the answer lies within our communities. That’s why we’re excited to officially announce the launch of Charge 2515 — our very first community-driven EV charging network in the 2515 postcode, covering the beautiful suburbs of Thirroul, Austinmer, and Coledale!

What is Charge 2515?

Charge 2515 is more than just installing EV chargers; it’s about building a local movement, powered by neighbours, for neighbours. We’re creating a network of accessible and convenient charging options by enabling home and business owners to share their chargers with EV drivers in need of a charge. From driveways to restaurant car parks and motel bays, these everyday locations become bookable charging spots — helping reduce range anxiety, increase access to charging, and support those who cannot install their own charger (like renters and apartment dwellers), as well as visitors exploring the region who need a reliable place to top up.

You're Invited to the Go Electric Open Day

Join us for the Go Electric Open Day, a community event hosted by Rewiring Australia and Electrify 2515, with support from Wollongong Council. Whether you are an EV enthusiast or just curious about sustainable living, this is a day you do not want to miss!
