Important considerations for EV drivers visiting Perisher:

  • Perisher has significantly less charging infrastructure than neighboring Thredbo
  • During winter (June-October), many visitors use the Skitube from Bullocks Flat rather than driving to Perisher
  • The drive from Jindabyne to Perisher involves substantial elevation gain and can be challenging in winter conditions
  • National Park entry fees apply when driving into Kosciuszko National Park
  • Chain requirements may be in effect during winter months
  • It’s highly recommended to have a backup charging plan and check availability before traveling
  • Consider charging in Jindabyne before heading up to Perisher

Due to the remote location and seasonal nature of Perisher, EV drivers are advised to plan their charging strategy carefully. The resort management has indicated plans to expand charging infrastructure, but development has been slower than at some other Australian alpine resorts.
