“As someone who lives in a remote area, I was sceptical about the practicality of electric vehicles. However, after taking the EV for a trial drive, I was pleasantly surprised. They could become a game-changer for our environmentally conscious community.” - EV trial participant
As part of a joint initiative between WALGA, Horizon Power, Energy Policy WA and MoJo Car Share, an electric vehicle (EV) recently completed a return trip from Perth across the State’s Mid-West and Pilbara region, visiting nine WA Local Governments.
90% of drivers who participated in the tour had never experienced an EV, with the initiative providing an opportunity to gain knowledge of charging, travel distance, and the suitability of electric vehicles for operational purposes.
Thank you to the Shire of Ashburton, Shire of Cue, Shire of East Pilbara, Shire of Exmouth, City of Greater Geraldton, City of Karratha, Shire of Meekatharra, Town of Port Hedland and the Shire of Yalgoo for taking part in the tour and sharing your insights to help guide the consideration of investment in this technology.
