NSW Government expands fleet electrification support with infrastructure funding and advisory services

By Eve

The New South Wales Government is rolling out new funding models, charging infrastructure investment, and advisory support to accelerate fleet electrification across businesses, councils, and households. Dan Wigmore stated the government aims to make NSW the easiest place in Australia to own and operate an EV, with investment in ultra-fast charging networks across metropolitan and regional areas. The programme also addresses safety misinformation that delays internal approvals within organisations.

Why it matters: Fleet operators and councils planning EV transitions gain access to infrastructure funding and advisory services that reduce range, utilisation, and downtime risks. The focus on regional charging networks and safety guidance helps procurement teams build business cases and secure internal approvals for electrification projects.
