EV charging infrastructure market

==> picture [123 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Electric vehicle chargers uptake and investment A once-in-a-generation opportunity

  • There are some estimates that suggest Australia will have 3 million EVs on the road by 2030

  • Significant long-term investment will be needed to support Australian charging infrastructure

  • Based on global take up of private chargers and global directives on public charger infrastructure, Australian charging infrastructure would require $15 billion - $20 billion of investment over the next 10 years

Current initiatives

  • ACT mandated new zero emission vehicles by 2035

  • NSW launched phase two of EV Fast Charging Grants $633M over 4 years

  • NSW Destination EV Charger grant. $20M for regional/rural areas

  • New legislation before parliament to remove fringe benefits tax (FBT) on eligible electric cars

  • Introduction of the Commonwealth fleet target to ensure its fleet purchases and leases will be 75% electric by 2025

  • Volvo to stop importing internal combustion engine vehicles to Australia by 2026. Audi will end development of new internal combustion engine models by the end of 2026

EV charging infrastructure market

Electric vehicle chargers and associated infrastructure Integrated Charging Solutions

Energy demand levels are changing

  • On-site commercial charging for fleets will need to be a standard feature over the next decade as fleets migrate to the EVs

  • Corporate fleets and government will lead the way forward buying the largest share of EVs initially, which will flow into the second-hand market in the following few years

  • Many major building upgrades will be needed to ensure electrical infrastructure to supply adequate capacity for the new demand

  • IPD Group are in a favourable position to capitalise on EV charging and subsequent electrical infrastructure upgrades
