With the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and the urgent need to transition towards a more sustainable transportation system, the Australian government is taking steps to incentivise the adoption of EVs and EV chargers. Businesses in Western Australia can now take advantage of EV charging grants from the state government. In this blog post, we will explore the details of EVs and EV charging systems and how they drive sustainable transportation’s future.
Offering paid EV charging services for visitors, guests, or staff can lead to an increase in profits for your business/investment. They are a great incentive to bring in more guests or offer benefits to staff who have EV cars.
Charge Up Workplace EV Charging Grants
The government of Western Australia is actively promoting the expansion of electric vehicle chargers by providing co-funding of up to 50% of their cost through $15 million in grants. These chargers can be installed in workplace car parks for the convenience of employees and visitors, or in eligible businesses such as cafes, recreation centres, or wineries.
The Charge Up Workplace Grants initiative is designed to simplify and reduce the costs for small to medium-sized enterprises, not-for-profit organisations, and local government authorities when installing EV charging equipment at their workplaces.
The application deadline is 12th May 2023. Due to its popularity, the EV charging grant is expected to reach capacity before this deadline. As an authorised provider and installer of EV charging equipment, we offer a streamlined and expeditious process to facilitate the transition to the Charge Up EV charging grant. Contact Perth Solar Force for more information on EV Chargers and find out your business’s eligibility for the grant.
