Electrifying Fleets for Sustainable Transportation
August 30, 2023
This blog post is fascinating since it is critical to Australia’s powerhouse. Fleets are what move our country, but especially our goods and services. This includes buses, trucks, vans, and passenger vehicles.
Today, one-fifth of carbon emissions in Australia come from transportation. Thus, we need to accelerate the uptake of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Australia. However, we are in a “chicken and egg dilemma” in Australia. To see broader private investment to roll out EV charging infrastructure, we need to see more EVs in the country to see financial feasibility from operators, but from the consumer side, they want to see more charging stations to charge our vehicles. Some trends we see these days families purchase EVs as secondary cars and use them for short distances (Low emission trips). However, they also own an internal combustion engine car for long distances trips (high emission trips) because they are no infrastructure in route off main freeways.
