Catch the latest EV webinars showcasing local government case studies, panel discussions with experts in the field, and learn the latest developments occurring in the electric vehicle sector.
EVolution in Action | Accelerating the Local Government Transition to Electric Vehicles in WA
This CPP webinar explores the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) groundbreaking EV fleet pilot project with 22 Local Governments representing a whopping 58% of the state’s population. This initiative is designed to fast-track the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) by uniting the needs of both smaller regional shires and larger metropolitan councils through a bulk procurement process that ensures maximum value for money. We’ll also hear from the City of Stirling, one of the local councils involved in this project to learn how this program is assisting their organisation to electrify its fleet.
Plugged in Workforce | Exploring Home Charging for Staff Fleet Cars
This CPP webinar features case studies of two very different approaches to staff-charging of fleet vehicles in New Zealand. Spotlighting the Bay of Plenty Regional Council’s approach vs The Warehouse Group, a leading New Zealand company, and unpacks the decisions and rationale applied in how they have decided to manage staff fleet vehicle charging methods.
Shifting focus to Australia, this webinar also explores the opportunity for councils to apply for ARENA’s $6.2 million funding in Origin’s Energy’s Accelerate EV Fleet Program, supporting the installation of smart chargers that seek to mitigate extra operational costs of EV fleets. We also hear from an Amped Consulting EV charging expert who regularly consults with state and local councils on electrifying their fleets. Watch this webinar to hear some practical insights, best practices, and real-world anecdotes, equipping you with the knowledge needed to navigate the transition to home-based fleet car charging.
Ditching the diesel & flicking the switch to EV utes
This CPP webinar provides an insightful look into the burgeoning EV ute market and explores fleet electrification options for local government. This webinar includes a panel line-up with car industry leaders in the field including LDV providing Australia’s first EV ute for commercial fleets. ROEV converting Toyota Hiluxes and Ford Rangers to electric powertrains for fleet customers and ACE EV Group designing light commercial electric utes and vans for tradies and city living. Rounding out this panel, we were joined by the City of Yarra Fleet Manager, Australia’s first council to add EV utes within their fleet lineup.
In this webinar:
- Snapshot of the EV ute market in Australia now and within the next 5 years
- Understand your fleet options ranging from purchasing EV utes versus vehicle conversions
- Learn how your council can best plan the fleet transition across different vehicle models
- Be informed as to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and emissions reduction savings for your council
- Explore the possibilities certain EV ute models can provide from charging electric power tools onsite to bi-directional charging and energy management solutions for your council

Case Study | ACT Government Zero Emission Vehicle Transition
In this CPP afternoon tea, Assistant Director for zero emissions for the ACT Government Alex Kileen, discusses the territory’s approach to its zero emissions vehicles transition and the lessons learnt along the way.
EV Charging for Local Government | An Introduction
In this webinar, Institute for Sensible Transport Director Dr Elliot Fishman discusses the role of local governments in providing charging infrastructure and offers his perspective on what charging fees councils should consider. This webinar also examines charging options for residents that utilise off-street parking and what type of chargers to install and why. Closing out this webinar, Dr Fishman explains some of the key trends he sees on the horizon for electric vehicles and charging technology.
