Scheme Details
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.
The NSW Government Electric Vehicle Fleet Charging Infrastructure Prequalification Scheme SCM13381 (“Scheme”) is open to applications from companies seeking to be prequalified to deliver Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Goods, Works and Services under Capability A.
