Low Emission Vehicles Contestable Fund

Funding started in 2017, and regular rounds were set to boost charging infrastructures uptake.
As of 2024, about $80 million were disbursed by the EECA through this fund, with more than 1400 EV chargers co-funded nationwide, and more than 700 co-funded chargers operational.
