JET Charge has installed 59 Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers across seven IKEA Australia locations to accelerate the retailer’s push toward 100 per cent zero-emission deliveries.
The national rollout equips IKEA’s delivery partners with consistent, depot-based charging.
With commercial EV availability slowly expanding, JET Charge said the project proves that large-scale, fit-for-purpose infrastructure can be integrated into complex retail operations.
“This project proves that zero-emission logistics isn’t just possible, it’s scalable,” said JET Charge CEO and co-founder, Tim Washington.
“We’ve given delivery partners the reliability they need, and IKEA the visibility to lead real emissions reductions across its supply chains.”
More than 100 vehicles are now charging at IKEA sites, enabling rapid emissions cuts across local fleets. IKEA reported that 83 per cent of its deliveries nationwide were completed by zero-emission vehicles in October 2025, with a target of 90 per cent by year’s end.
“Rolling out EV charging at scale is a critical step in achieving zero-emission delivery,” said Alexandra Kelly, IKEA Zero Emission Delivery Project Lead.
“This model is already having a significant impact and brings us closer to our goal of 100 per cent.”
The project features smart load management across sites in Tempe, Rhodes, Marsden Park, Sydney CDC, Canberra, Springvale and North Lakes, with Richmond and Logan next in line.
A Chargefox billing system has also been integrated, allowing third-party drivers to pay for charging while ensuring IKEA is reimbursed for electricity use.
For logistics operators chasing Net Zero targets, the companies said the rollout offers a replicable blueprint for overcoming infrastructure barriers at scale.
