EDIF creates and manages infrastructure SPVs anchored by purpose-built charging hubs for battery electric heavy vehicles — delivering stable, asset-backed returns for wholesale investors.
EDIF is an Australian infrastructure fund that develops, structures, and manages Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) anchored by heavy electric vehicle charging hubs. Each SPV is a discrete, asset-backed investment vehicle with a defined capital structure, clear cashflow mechanics, and a direct path to profitability.
Australia's heavy road freight sector is one of the nation's largest sources of carbon emissions — and one of its greatest diesel dependencies. Battery electric heavy vehicles are now commercially available at scale. The missing piece is purpose-built, high-capacity charging infrastructure.
EDIF exists to build that infrastructure — aligning with national decarbonisation priorities, supporting fleet electrification, and helping mitigate supply chain risks.
Request Information MemorandumEach EDIF SPV owns the grid connection, PCS/EMS, charging piles, and land lease — tangible infrastructure assets with long economic lives.
Designed exclusively for battery electric heavy vehicles — Class 8 trucks and prime movers — where the charging infrastructure gap is most acute.
Open exclusively to wholesale investors. Target returns at mature utilisation, backed by EDIF infrastructure assets.
Hub operations are fully contracted to Solarh2e — removing operational complexity from the fund and stabilising investor returns from day one.
Australia imports approximately 90% of its diesel fuel. Heavy road freight — trucks, prime movers, and logistics vehicles — accounts for a disproportionate share of both fuel consumption and transport-related carbon emissions nationally.
Battery electric heavy vehicles are now commercially available at scale. Global manufacturers including SANY, Volvo and Scania are delivering Class 8 electric prime movers capable of handling Australia's domestic freight task. The vehicles are here. The technology is proven.
What is missing is the charging infrastructure to support fleet-scale adoption. Fleet operators cannot commit to electric vehicles without confidence that charging exists at the scale and reliability they need. EDIF is purpose-built to provide exactly that.
For investors, this represents a rare convergence: genuine national need, government policy tailwind, a clear commercial model and first-mover infrastructure positioning.
From site selection to investor returns — five stages that transform raw grid capacity into a profitable charging infrastructure asset.
Identify strategic industrial land. Secure a contracted 4–5MW grid connection — the hardest-to-replicate component of each hub. Final Investment Decision
Raise equity from wholesale investors via a Class Fund linked to the SPV. IM and Supplementary IM available on request.
Install PCS/EMS, 400kW fast chargers, 80kW overnight chargers, and SANY 6-minute battery swap station. Purpose-built for heavy EVs.
Pursue government co-funding to bridge operational costs during the utilisation ramp-up in years one to three.
Solarh2e operates the hub. At 40% grid utilisation, the fund delivers the target return to investors. See IM for details
Every EDIF SPV is built around four tangible infrastructure components — each owned by the SPV and each contributing to the hub's long-term asset value.
A contracted connection to the distribution network — secured, commissioned, and owned by the SPV. Grid connections of this scale in established industrial precincts are time-intensive to obtain and difficult to replicate, making this a genuine infrastructure moat for each EDIF hub.
EDIF works closely with our infrastructure developers and engineering partners to identify, scope and deliver on these locations and connections.
Three purpose-configured charging solutions covering the full spectrum of heavy and light EV needs:
Commercial-grade Power Conversion Systems and Energy Management Systems manage the interface between the grid connection, on-site renewable generation, battery storage, and the charging infrastructure. Real-time load management, remote diagnostics, and 24/7 monitoring enable efficient, reliable hub operations.
Each hub is built on a long-term leased site — industrial-zoned land selected for logistics access, proximity to freight corridors, and grid availability. Lease terms are structured to align with the investment horizon of the fund, providing tenure certainty for the asset and investors.
EDIF operates under a rigorous governance framework appropriate to an AFSL-licensed wholesale infrastructure fund. Investment is restricted to wholesale investors under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Evergreen Capital acts as independent Trustee of the EDIF fund structure, providing oversight of fund assets, compliance obligations, and investor protections in accordance with the trust deed and AFSL requirements.
The appointed Fund Manager — responsible for deal origination, asset development, capital raising, investor relations, grant applications, and ongoing fund administration.
Contracted exclusive operator of all EDIF hubs. Solarh2e assumes full operational responsibility — managing day-to-day hub operations, maintenance, and service delivery — de-risking the fund and stabilising investor returns.
The EDIF General Class invests across a selection of EDIF's hub-specific SPV classes — providing investors with a single, diversified exposure to multiple charging hubs rather than a single asset. The blended return sits between the best and least performing classes in the selection, delivering portfolio-style risk reduction within the EDIF structure.
