Making the Hunter Valley the destination of choice for EV drivers
Turn your venue into the place EV visitors want to stop, stay and spend this summer.
Why the Hunter Valley?
The Hunter Valley is already one of Australia’s favourite getaways, and more visitors are now arriving in electric vehicles. As this shift grows, EV drivers look for places where they can plug in while enjoying long lunches, tastings or overnight stays.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to list my charger on ivygo?
Listing is completely free. There are no fixed fees and no lock ins. ivygo only takes a percentage on completed bookings as a listing fee and you keep the rest.
Who sets the charging price?
You do. You choose your hourly rate. ivygo provides recommended pricing based on your charger speed and local demand, but the final price is always up to you.
Will EV charging increase my electricity bill?
Your hourly rate should cover your electricity costs and still generate revenue.
If you want to reduce your overall energy bill, our partner Choice Energy offers a free electricity assessment to help you find a better plan.
Can I list multiple chargers at my venue?
Yes. You can list several chargers or bays and duplicate your listing in the app in seconds. This is ideal for wineries, restaurants, hotels, motels and larger tourism operators.
What if I do not have an EV charger yet?
No problem. We connect you with trusted hardware and installation partners in the Hunter Valley and help you choose and install the right Level 2 charger for your venue.
Do I need special hardware for ivygo?
No. ivygo works with any Level 2 charger. If you already have a charger, you can list it immediately. If not, we can help you install one quickly and affordably.
How do EV drivers find my venue?
Your charger becomes visible on ivygo, Google Maps, PlugShare and other EV platforms. This helps EV visitors discover your venue, plan their day and book ahead. We also work with Europcar, Turo and Destination NSW, who run campaigns to promote the Hunter Valley and highlight participating venues to their customers.
Can guests book their charging time in advance?
Yes. Drivers can check availability up to 90 days in advance, book a timeslot and pay before they arrive. This gives them peace of mind and helps you manage visitor flow more predictably.
How do my business get paid?
Drivers pay through the app when they book, and your earnings are transferred once a month to the bank account you nominate when you list your charger. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, and ivygo does not store or access any of your payment information.
What support does ivygo provide?
ivygo manages bookings, payments, reminders and guest support. Your team does not need to do anything extra, you simply provide the parking spot and welcome new visitors.
If you would like support, you can reach us at [email protected] or +61255636824.
Can EV charging help with my venue’s sustainability goals?
Yes. Offering EV charging supports sustainable tourism, reduces range anxiety for visitors and helps position the Hunter Valley as one of Australia’s easiest regions to explore with an electric vehicle.
I have now listed my charger… what’s next?
Great work — your venue is now EV-ready. Once your charger is live, EV drivers can find and book it on ivygo, Google Maps, PlugShare and other EV platforms.
To help you make the most of your listing, we will send you:
Stickers with clear instructions to place on your charger
In-venue material for your reception, bar, counter or guest areas so visitors know they can book and charge while they are with you
We also recommend updating your website to let visitors know your charger is now bookable via ivygo.
If you are a hotel, motel or short-term rental, update your accommodation listing as well — many guests now filter by EV charging when choosing where to stay.
Can I also add my home charger or short-term rental on ivygo?
Yes. If you want to share your home charger with neighbours or list an EV charger at a short-term rental such as an Airbnb, you can do that easily on ivygo as well.
