The programme focuses on expanding charging infrastructure, supporting commercial vehicle electrification and building the workforce required to maintain EVs, with a particular emphasis on regional and remote areas.Additional fast chargers will be installed in underserved regions, alongside more kerbside charging options for drivers without access to home charging. To date, the government has supported more than 3,300 charging points across over 1,200 sites. A further AUD 3 million programme will help local councils plan and deliver additional charging infrastructure.The strategy also strengthens support for electric commercial vehicles. The existing EV Fleets Incentive Programme will be expanded to include small and medium-duty electric trucks, enabling businesses to electrify delivery and service fleets. Grants are available for both vehicle purchases and charging infrastructure.“Families are feeling the pressure every time they fill up. We want to give more families the option of taking up EVs,” said NSW Premier Chris Minns. “This is about giving people a real alternative, one that’s cheaper to run and with this rollout, easier to access.”Workforce development is another focus area, with training planned for around 2,000 mechanics in regional NSW. Further measures include the electrification of more than 8,000 public transport buses, powering rail networks with 100 per cent renewable electricity since 2025, and trials for zero-emission heavy vehicles on state roads.“This Strategy will get more EVs on the road and help drivers travel and charge with confidence,” said Minister for Climate Change and Energy Penny Sharpe, while EV Council CEO Julie Delvecchio commented: “Expanding fleet incentives to trucks is one of the smartest moves in this strategy – it’s one of the fastest ways to cut operating costs for businesses.”nsw.gov.au
