Electrified fleet

As part of ongoing efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, Council is transitioning to a more sustainable vehicle fleet. With the support of a $66,000 grant under the NSW Government’s EV fleets incentive ‘Kick-start funding’ program, Council is replacing seven traditional vehicles with electric and hybrid models by the end of 2025.   

The latest additions to the fleet include two Teslas and two Hyundai Kona electric vehicles. In the new financial year, another electric vehicle will be added, with an additional two hybrid vehicles coming to complement the electric vehicles.   

To support the fleet transition, five Tesla charging stations will be installed across Council facilities to ensure sufficient infrastructure for the new fleet.  

The EV fleets initiative helps eligible organisations procure battery electric vehicles and optional smart chargers. Funding is designed to cover part of the purchase price and operating cost gap between a battery electric vehicle and an equivalent internal combustion engine vehicle.
