NRMA research demonstrated that there is already demand for
electric vehicles, but significant barriers remain
Two main barriers to EV If fast charging infrastructure is
purchasing available...
65% more likely to consider purchasing an EV
1. Cost of .
vehicles
2. Range anxiety / lack of 94%
of owners more likely to take road
trips in their EVs

expect fast charging stations to be
61% located in regional towns, close to
amenities and services

The early business case for EV infrastructure is challenging
while EV numbers are so low
Charging infrastructure is a
“chicken and egg” dilemma
• Consumers won’t purchase until
Minimum coverage
infrastructure exists
• Investment requires sufficient Demand gap

Local Councils/Site Owners
• Capital investment for sites that are required • Commercial value of parking bays in centrally
for minimum coverage located parking areas over the life of the
license agreement
• Operating cost of maintaining the network,
including additional sites • Engagement with local community
stakeholders before sites are agreed.
• Operating cost of servicing and supporting
EV drivers (including power) • Site improvements such as lighting, safety,
landscaping (where required)
• Promotion to NRMA’s 2.6m members
• Planning services and fee waivers to enable
• Potential to expand through co-investment. site license and build
• Promotion of the site and the network to the
local community

The NRMA is leading discussions on measures that will support
the adoption of EVs in Australia
Recommendations:
Make charging infrastructure investment a priority – Direct investment and
facilitating utilities and preparatory work to support streamlined planning
approvals.
Remove barriers to the purchase of EVs – A short-term exemption to Fringe
Benefits Tax and abolish the Luxury Car Tax for EVs.
Set EV fleet targets – for Australian Governments and the corporate sector.
Establish an inter-governmental working group – with industry and consumer
reps to guide and co-ordinate the transition to electric road transport.
Promote EV related industries – encourage research and development in EV
batteries and other technologies associated with EVs.
