NSW EV Fleet Incentive –
Kick-start Funding
Kick-Start Your Fleet Transition
The NSW Government’s EV Fleets Incentive – Kick-start Funding is designed to help organisations take their first step into fleet electrification. It provides co-funding for electric vehicles and smart chargers, making it easier to trial EVs without taking on all the upfront cost.
JET Charge is one of Australia’s leading experts in fleet EV charging. We offer flexible solutions from outright purchase to subscription based ‘Charging as a Service’ solutions, all compatible with the Kick-start incentive.
