ABOUT
In 2016, Australia led the world in rooftop solar adoption, with over 1.6 million homes harnessing renewable energy. At that time, however, electric vehicles were scarce and despite the potential synergy of driving an EV powered by free solar energy, many hesitated, often citing the lack of EV charging infrastructure. This gap sparked the inception of Everty.
Instead of building a public charging network resembling traditional petrol stations for EVs, we envisioned a future where EV charging seamlessly integrates into everyday life, available in every building and parking space. Founded in 2017, we launched our MVP and participated in the Energy Lab Acceleration Programme in Chippendale, Australia.
Supported by environmentally conscious organisations such as Lendlease, UTS and Great Western Water, Everty gained its first clients and continues to evolve as a leading Australian Climate Tech company in the EV ecosystem.
In 2023, Australians witnessed the doubling of EV sales, reaching 87,217 vehicles (7.2% of the market). One in three homes adopted solar panels, and 38.6% of all the nation's energy in 2023 originated from renewable sources. As we begin 2024, Everty continues to assist clients in establishing EV charging infrastructure, actively contributing to a smarter and greener future.
