We support the Australian government’s National Electric Vehicle Strategy, and alongside many of Australia’s industry leaders ask for it to include the following additions:
- Fuel efficiency standards consistent with the USA, NZ and EU
- A collaborative EV industry development plan to boost investment in EV manufacturing, products and services
- A co-ordinated rollout of a charging network for cars, trucks and buses – with a focus on the regions, the suburbs, and high-density buildings
- Supporting more electric buses, trucks and other commercial vehicles for Australian businesses
- Economic modelling that factors in the many benefits of EVs including less pollution, improved public health, better fuel security, and manufacturing opportunities
- A goal to have 1 million EVs on Australian roads by 2027
Since 2013, we have been working to break down the barriers of EV charging. We are Australia’s leading end-to-end provider of EV charging technologies and believe all Australian’s should have equal access to fast charging infrastructure on the road to a zero emissions future.
We believe these additions will further break down these barriers and accelerate EV adoption in Australia.
