The NSW government will spend another $105 million to spur the uptake of electric vehicles among councils, taxi companies and other fleet operators by offering to cover part of the extra costs over conventional cars.
Treasurer Dominic Perrottet, Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance, and Minister for Energy and Environment Matt Kean at the EV policy launch in June.“EVs are cheaper to run, quieter on our roads, reduce air pollution and are better for our health – all great reasons why we want more and more people enjoying electric vehicles right across our state,” Mr Kean said.
The new $105 million in funding, which is in addition to the government’s $490 million electric vehicle package announced at the 2021 budget, will be distributed through a reverse bidding process for the fleet operators.Fleet operators will be asked to nominate the level of incentive needed for them to be able to purchase each eligible EV, with the first round opening on November 30.
