Funding for NSW businesses to procure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and smart chargers
Kick-start funding provides financial incentives for NSW businesses and organisations to procure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and smart charging ports, and to support installation costs for chargers.
The program supports up to 15 BEVs and smart charging ports in total across all rounds and allocations of the EV fleets incentive.
To be eligible, you must hold an Australian business number and have non-private registrations for: at least 3 vehicles (electric or non-electric) in NSW, or one licensed taxi in NSW, or one truck in NSW.
Do not include any BEV you are applying to receive funding for in your count of existing fleet vehicles.
These vehicles must have been operational in your fleet for at least 6 months prior to the application submission.
The Department expects your organisation will continue operating a fleet of at least 3 vehicles for at least three to four years after your application.
Audits may be conducted to confirm compliance.
