Electric Vehicle Fleets Incentive - Round 3

The NSW Government are working to support NSW to transition to electric vehicles (EVs), and help fast track the transport sector to net zero emissions by 2050.

The incentive will support the purchase of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), with additional funds available for smart base charging. This will help you bridge the cost of transitioning your fleet’s passenger, light commercial or sports utility vehicles to BEVs or FCEVs through a reverse auction process.

NSW businesses, not-for-profits, hire companies and local councils may be eligible for this opportunity.

If your organisation leases vehicles and does not have the in-house capability to apply, you can benefit from the incentive by going through a fleet aggregator. Aggregators can place bids on behalf of multiple fleets, and if successful the savings from the incentive must be passed on to their customers. This takes out a lot of the leg work for organisations applying for the incentive, and helps create a smoother journey for business transition to EVs.

There are 2 funding streams with different eligibility requirements. Bids will be assessed against other bids in the same stream.

• Individual fleets – you must operate a fleet of at least 10 vehicles in NSW to support your organisation’s purposes. Eligible organisations include - but are not limited to - business, local council and non-government organisations.
• Aggregators – you can offer incentive funding to NSW customers as part of the vehicle leasing arrangements you provide. This includes fleet management organisations and private businesses that offer fleet leasing arrangements to NSW customers.
