NSW Government’s Electric Vehicle Strategy

The NSW Government is investing almost half a billion dollars to incentivise the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) and reduce barriers for the transition to EVs.

This EV package supports NSW families and businesses to make the move to the vehicles of the future, now.

The NSW Government’s EV Strategy is driving the uptake of EVs so that they will represent more than 50% of new car sales by 2030-31 and the vast majority of new car sales by 2035, preparing the NSW road network for a low-emissions future.

Under this EV Strategy, the NSW Government is investing:

  • $149 million in EV fast charging grants to build a world class road network of ultra-fast charging stations,
  • $105 million through the EV fleets incentive to help organisations bridge the cost of transitioning passenger, light commercial or sports utility vehicles to battery EVs,
  • $20 million in EV destinations charging grants to help eligible regional tourist locations such as motels, restaurants and attractions purchase and install EV chargers to attract EV drivers to their sites. the NSW Government passenger fleet to EVs by 2030.
  • $10 million in EV ready buildings grants to assist eligible NSW apartment buildings by co-funding the assessment and installation of EV infrastructure upgrades.
  • $10 million in EV kerbside charging grants to install EV kerbside chargers in areas of NSW with the least access to private, off-street parking.

NSW Government is also funding the following initiatives to support the transition to Net Zero transport:

The Government also provided rebates and stamp duty exemptions for eligible EV purchases made before 1 January 2024.
