Assessment of Key Road Operator Actions to Support Electric Vehicles

This report identifies actions that road operators can take to support the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). It is intended to clarify the role of road operators and other government departments (e.g. energy, environment) in the areas that affect EV deployment – policy, infrastructure, regulation and incentives. The report classifies actions into two categories: core road operator functions and non-core functions. This approach enables individual agencies to select actions based on how proactive or reactive they see their role in supporting (or not constraining) the rollout of EVs in their jurisdictions. In the context of this report, road operator is used as a term to reflect road and transport agencies but may also refer to local government and private road operators. Where actions are assigned to road operators, they are assigned to Austroads member agencies. Join Austroads' Future Vehicles and Technology Program Manager, John Wall, and report authors David Green, Mark Gjerek and Nathan Gore-Brown, for a free webinar on Tuesday 31 March 2020, 1:00 pm AEDT to explore the actions road operators can take to support the transition to electric vehicles.
