2MAY2025 Standing Committee on Transport & Infrastructure NSW Legislative AssemblyNSW Parliament Electric Vehicle Council’sresponseto the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry intoInfrastructure for electric and alternative energy source vehicles in NSW The Electric Vehicle Council (EVC) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to theCommittee intoInfrastructure for electric andalternative energy source vehicles in NSW.The EVC is the national peak body for the electric vehicle (EV) industry in Australia. Ourmission is to accelerate the electrification of transport for a sustainable and prosperousfuture. We representalmost 100businessesacross the EV value chain, including car, busand truck manufacturers, importers, operators, charging infrastructure suppliers, batteryreuse and recycling companies, financiers, and network providers. Introduction Transport makes up almost one-fifth of Australia’s emissions, with the vast majority ofemissions coming from cars, followed by trucks.1 Unfortunately, transport is also thegreatestlaggard when it comes to achieving our emissions reduction targets.TheDepartment ofClimate Change, Energy, the Environment and Waterestimate that withoutaction, Australia’s transport emissions will likely be significantly higher than 2005-levels in2030–significantly out of step with the average, economy-widefederal governmenttargetof a 43% reduction.2 Based on current trends, it is likely that the transport sector will become Australia’s topemitting sector in the near future, as other sectors of the economy–such as energy–rapidly decarbonise. While much of the technology is already available to decarbonisetransport, the challenge for this sector is time; specifically,the amount of time it takes toturnover the vehicle fleet. As such, it is of the utmost importance that the decarbonisationof this sector is prioritised today in order to achieve netzero emissions by, or ideally before2050.Vehicle electrification offers an opportunity to reduce road-based emissions thoughuse of renewably-electrified fuels. The EVC advocates for vehicle electrification to achieve emissions reduction targets,3reduce particulate pollution and noise emissions, along with increasing geo-political stabilitythrough lower reliance on foreign oil and creating new jobs. Part of this is achieved throughsupport for policy such as the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES),as well as throughlowering barriers to accessing charging infrastructure and keeping electricity prices down. The market EV adoption rates in Australia have been non-linear. With a rapid increase coming out of the COVID years that featured austerityandsupplyconstraints, 2024 saw a correction of the trend towards what is usually expected of newtechnology adoption curves,4with significant increases in the availability of diverseEVproductsand increasing consumer adoption of them. The EVC recognises the need to achieve 1million EVs(battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybridelectricvehicles)on the road by 2027,to be on a trajectory to meet net zero by2050.This requires EV adoption rates to be around 27% in 2027 and 50% in 2030. The availability of options to charge an EV is important to consumer confidence in makingthe choice to purchase.More than90% of dwellings in Australia have some sort of optionfor parking an EV on the property.5A majority of these dwellings will have easy access toapower pointsomewhere nearby the car parking space.Publicchargingoptionsremainanimportantoption forrenters, strata title occupants, as well asfor long trips, ride-share,commercial and freight applications. As theirvisibilityis also understood to boost consumerconfidence in vehicle electrification, their significance cannot be understated.6 For an emerging technology,EV charging is growing at pace. In Australia, there areapproximately2,000 high-power EV chargers, an increase of 90% frommid-2023 to mid-2024with year-on-year growth (Figure 3).To date, that is equivalent of about1/3 the size of the petrol station footprint in Australia anddoes not include slower rate charging that isfoundin shoppingcentres, homes and at the kerbside.7 While sales are increasing year on year,EVs currentlyonlyaccount forover 2% of vehicleson Australian roads,indicating the need forurgent and continued government action.8 Thelocation of EV supply equipment (EVSE) is critical to ensure: •efficient use of the electricity and road transport networks;•acceptable utilisation of EVSE;and•to act as a signpost to prospective EVownersthat there are options for chargingnear the places they typically travel. Getting the balance right between a healthy charging sector and encouraging EV uptakethrough ample charging infrastructure iscrucial.Tosupport regionalmotorists, prospectiveEV owners andto encourage economic growth in the regions, the EVC is proposing an‘EVFriendlyTowns’initiative.This program will involve local councils as well as stategovernments in collaboratively establishingpublic awareness ca
