And they were perceived as expensive. In 2024, however, \u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://electricvehiclecouncil.com.au/evs-available/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ethere are now about 100 different EVs on offer, kicking off from -$30,000 mark\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/strong\u003E. They span pretty much every corner of the market, from the small/medium/large car and SUV segments to the people mover, 2WD ute and van classes. Only the top-selling 4WD ute segment remains an unestablished frontier – but not for long. Today's EVs are also much better than those of just a few years ago, with longer driving ranges, improved performance, faster charging and better battery life. Additionally, with the New Vehicle Emissions Standards law coming into force in 2025, it is expected that manufacturers will add more EVs to their range.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EBetter charging infrastructure\u003C/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EUnder the Australian government's \u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://www.dcceew.gov.au/energy/transport/driving-the-nation-fund\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDriving the Nation Fund\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/strong\u003E, investment in EV charging infrastructure is growing and more public-charging sites around the country are being built.

Some businesses aren't even waiting for public infrastructure to meet their needs. IKEA is installing charging stations in its own warehouses so its EV fleet can venture into areas with insufficient public-charging capacity.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EIncentives are incentives\u003C/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Federal Government's \u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au/pages/LowAndZeroEmissionVehicles/ElectricVehicleInformation\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EEV Discount policy\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/strong\u003E, introduced in 2022, continues to give businesses a big incentive to add an EV to the books, most notably an exemption from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) for any EV purchased by a company and/or through a salary-sacrifice deal. State governments around the country also continue to offer various sweeteners to encourage businesses to fast-track the move to a sustainable fleet, such as NSW with its EV Fleets Incentive, which offers funding to help eligible businesses purchase EVs and smart chargers.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThese incentives only add to the well-established long-term savings in fuel and maintenance that EVs offer over internal combustion engines (ICE) and other equivalents – another big financial carrot if you're managing a fleet.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EEVs are good for ESG\u003C/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EEnvironmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are a now-ubiquitous part of business, helping companies navigate an increasingly complex regulatory, environmental and social world while building a more positive reputation.
