NewVolt's Melbourne West hub is designed for fleet operators running the western and south-western freight corridors. Pull in off Little Boundary Road, charge, and be back on the road.
Find Us
Melbourne West sits at the junction of Melbourne's two most important western freight arterials. The M80 Ring Road and M1 Westgate Freeway converge immediately adjacent to the site — making this hub accessible from Port of Melbourne, the western industrial precincts, Geelong, and the Hume corridor without any significant deviation from route.
Getting Here

Under 5 min deviationFrom the North / South
Exit the M80 at Kororoit Creek Road interchange heading south. Little Boundary Road is the first right. Hub entry is immediately off the common accessway on the left.

Take the Western Ring Road eastbound. Merge to M80 north. Exit at Kororoit Creek Road. Little Boundary Road is immediately south. Follow the common accessway to the hub entry.
Under 5 min deviationPort of Melbourne
Melbourne West is the only heavy vehicle charging hub within 15 minutes of both of Australia's busiest container terminals. Port operators can charge between runs — without meaningfully changing their route.
Container Terminal
Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) and DP World's Swanson Dock — Melbourne's highest-volume container berths. Operators running port shuttles can charge between lifts without deviating from route.
Container Terminal
Patrick Terminals' Webb Dock — one of Australia's most automated container terminals. The shortest route from Webb Dock to Melbourne West runs directly along the M1 Westgate corridor.
Traffic Flow
The Melbourne West hub is designed as a full drive-through facility. Articulated vehicles, heavy rigid vehicles, and semi-rigid vehicles all enter and exit without reversing. Pull in, charge, pull out — the same direction you arrived.
Vehicle Types Accommodated
Secure 1.8-metre palisade fencing around the full site perimeter. Sliding gate entry and exit. CCTV monitoring. Your truck and cargo are secure while your driver rests.
Site Specifications
Designed for continuous commercial operation — not a pilot or a trial. Canopied bays, heavy-duty paving rated for multi-combination vehicles, and a 3MVA grid connection that supports simultaneous charging across all 12 bays.
How You Charge
No app required. No fumbling at the bay. The NewVolt Card handles everything — from session start to automatic fleet reporting.
Pull in off Little Boundary Road. Drive straight through the entry gate to your assigned bay. No reversing — the hub is designed for full drive-through access for B-doubles and articulated vehicles.
Connect the CCS2 cable from the Kempower charger to your vehicle. Compatible with all major electric truck platforms available in Australia. MCS-capable bays available for next-generation vehicles.
Tap your NewVolt Card. Charging starts instantly. Every session is automatically logged against your fleet account — VIN level, energy consumed, carbon abatement.
Billing is fixed and predictable. Your Charging Service Agreement sets a monthly charging volume at a fixed rate — no variable fuel cost surprises, no per-session price fluctuations.
Every session is captured automatically. Fleet managers access a dashboard with per-vehicle performance metrics, total energy consumed, cost per session, and carbon abatement data.
