Funding to support innovative technologies in electric vehicle charging

The ZEVET program provides funding to organisations developing pre-commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging technologies to achieve full commercialisation.

Overview

ZEVET will support projects that deliver the following outcomes:

• demonstrate a contribution in meeting a target of 50 per cent of all new light vehicle sales to be zero emissions by 2030
• build upon EV charging technologies to support the uptake of Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEVs)
• create project supply chains and local jobs, building skills, capabilities and services across each service area
• where possible, utilise local content such as skills and services, to deliver the project
• deliver community, economic and social benefit
• where possible, support smart charging technology manufacturing, installation or maintenance opportunities within the state
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions to support Victoria’s legislated net-zero by 2050 emissions reduction target and the business’s own targets and strategies.
