1) As part of the 2024-25 State Budget, the WA Government has announced an additional $5.2 million investment to meet expected demand for the ZEV rebate. The ZEV rebate scheme was previously available to the first 10,000 applications for eligible vehicles licensed in WA, or for three years following the announcement (Saturday 10 May 2025), whichever comes first. With this additional investment, the application cap has been removed, and all applications will be accepted until midnight on Saturday 10 May 2025.
2) Synergy and Horizon Power are working with the State Government to create Australia’s longest EV charging network (the WA EV network). This $23 million investment includes 98 charging stations across 49 different locations connecting Perth and regional WA. The State Government’s Charge Up Workplace EV Charging Grants initiative also makes it easier and more cost effective for small to medium enterprises, not-for-profit organisations, and local government authorities to install EV charging equipment at the workplace.
3) I refer to the answer provided by the Minister for Transport in QWN 784.
