Webinar: Assessment of Key Road Operator Actions to Support Electric Vehicles

This webinar provides insights into a recent Austroads report that identifies actions road operators can take to support the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).

The report also clarifies the role of road operators and other government departments (e.g. energy, environment) in the areas that affect EV deployment. That being policy, infrastructure, regulation and incentives.

The actions outlined in the report are classified into two categories; core road operator functions (must do) and non-core functions (may do).

This enables individual agencies to select actions based on how proactive or reactive they see their role in supporting (or not constraining) the roll-out of EVs in their jurisdictions.

This webinar provides an overview of the report, providing insights into the themes in which the identified core and non-core actions were derived.

By participating you will learn about:

• The different types of electric vehicles.
• Core and non-core functions of road operators in supporting the transition to EVs.
• The key themes that influence the actions road operators need to consider to support the transition to EVs. This includes leadership, governance, mass/license concessions, registration and licensing data, EV charging guidelines and EV charging infrastructure.
• The key core actions (must do actions) around registration & licensing, road access and EV charging infrastructure. In addition to an overview of the key non-core actions (may do actions to further support the transition to EVs) around education, governance and EV charging infrastructure.
