Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee, , 4:20:11 to 4:22:01
The Quality and Safeguards Commission explains the installation of an EV charging station to support its transition to an electric vehicle fleet.
Topics: Electric vehicles, Procurement
Speakers: Speaker 40, Chris Gatenby
The question on note as ending two four five. Why was an EV charging station installed? Like is it for the use of an electric fleet? Uh the Commission has.
Yes, that's correct, Senator. We re move we moved a fleet vehicle that we had at our Penrith office to Parramatter and required the EV charger to be available for that fleet vehicle.
But how many of the other officers like I'll come back to that, but how many of your other officers have AV charging stations installed?
I need to take that on notice, but um, certainly there is advice that uh around the fleet services that we need to be moving them to EVs, and so we have done that over the previous years, but I can take on notice how many of our sites have EV charges.
Um, who can use the charging station? Just the commission or public, anyone else, or is it just for staff?
No, it's only the commission that can use that. So it's it's part of our um property leasing agreement uh in the sites that we maintain.
And can I just check that the cost of that was one point uh one thousand well what was the I've just got a figure here that I'm just finding a bit hard to believe, but what was the cost of the AV charging station?
I would need to take that on notice, sorry, Santa. I can grab my laptop and get it for you if that's preferable.
That's okay. Thank you.
