View Scheme - SCM13381

The NSW Government committed in 2021 to transitioning the government fleet of passenger vehicles to electric by 2030 as part of the NSW Electric Vehicle Strategy. https://www.energy.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-09/nsw-electric-vehicle-strategy-210225.pdf

Specifically, the Government set out goals to have 50% of newly purchased/leased passenger vehicles to be electric by 2026 and 100% of newly purchased/leased passenger vehicles to be electric by 2030.

Achieving these targets requires Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure to be set up at vehicle base locations such as NSW Government sites and depots.
