The Electric Vehicle Charging for Business Fleets program will reduce operating costs and emissions by supporting chargers for business fleets and stimulating the purchase and lease of ZEVs for business operations.
By switching to zero-emission vehicles, businesses could save up to $500 per month per car in their fleet.
The turnover of fleets will flow on to the second-hand EV market, in turn making them more affordable for Victorians and cutting the cost of living for the community.
Transport is one of Australia’s largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 25 per cent of Victoria’s total carbon footprint.
The Labor government has set an ambitious goal for zero-emission vehicles to make up half of all new light-vehicle sales by 2030, helping Victoria halve emissions.
The grant program is a key part of the government’s $19.21 million Acceleration of Zero Emissions Vehicle Adoption package and nation-leading $100 million ZEV road map.
Applications are open until 5pm, Friday, 22 July 2022 at energy.vic.gov.au/grants/ev-charging-business-fleets
