The Electric Vehicle Council joined Premier Chris Minns, Minister Penny Sharpe and Minister Jenny Aitchison to launch the new NSW EV Strategy - a plan focused on expanding charging (especially in regional areas), supporting fleets and trucks to electrify, and building the workforce to deliver the transition.
"The NSW fuel crisis has driven unprecedented interest in electric vehicles - but interest alone doesn't put people behind the wheel. What matters now is removing the barriers between wanting to switch and actually making the switch," EVC CEO Julie Delvecchio said.
"Every barrier removed gives Australians an exit ramp off high fuel prices while strengthening our fuel security. And the case is clear - EVs are cheaper to run, reduce exposure to global oil shocks, and deliver cleaner, quieter communities for everyone."
