Prepared by consultancy Energeia for ARENA & the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC).
Energeia’s research review covered Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) charging infrastructure, market modelling of PEV sales and associated charging infrastructure requirements.
Energeia modelled three scenarios — No Intervention, Moderate Intervention and Accelerated Intervention — to project the potential uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in Australia, and the associated requirement for charging infrastructure. The study examined the barriers to uptake, which include the purchase price premium, low EV model availability and limited access to charge points, and also examined trends in other markets.
