The licence exemptions applied to electric vehicle charging station have been extended to 30 June 2024 by the Governor under section 8 of the Electricity Industry Act 2004.

These exemptions were due to expire on 30 June 2021. This extension reflects an absence of consumer protection concerns regarding these services and the developing nature of the electric vehicle industry.

The licence exemptions can be found in the Electricity Industry Exemption Order 2005 on the Western Australian Legislation website.
