The deal will expand Ampol's retail fuel and convenience network across Australia. Regulatory clearance followed commitments to address competition concerns in specific markets.

The expanded Ampol network may create new opportunities for EV charging deployment at high traffic retail sites. Procurement teams should monitor which divested sites change hands, as new operators may accelerate electrification plans.

Australia's largest fuel retailer, Ampol, has agreed to buy Evie Networks for $225 million, adding more than 1,030 public charging bays to its existing infrastructure. Subject to regulatory approval, the deal would give Ampol approximately 1,425 charging bays across more than 400 sites, making it one of Australia's largest EV charging networks. Evie Networks reported a 116% year on year increase in charging sessions, while Australian motorists purchased a record 103,716 battery electric cars in the first six months of 2026.
Why it matters
The acquisition signals strong commercial confidence in Australia's charging infrastructure market, with a major fuel incumbent committing capital at scale to meet rising EV demand. For CPOs and site hosts, Ampol's move validates the business case for public charging and may intensify competition for high traffic locations.
