NSW Government's EV Fleet Incentive for Businesses and Fleet Managers
NSW businesses may now apply for government funding to reduce the upfront cost of electric vans and trucks.
WHAT IS THE NSW EV FLEETS INCENTIVE PROGRAM?
The EV Fleets Incentive is a grant program that supports eligible fleet managers in NSW to access co-funding towards the purchase of battery electric vehicles. Successful fleet managers are also able to receive a fixed amount per vehicle for smart charging equipment to be installed at their organisational premises or at employees' homes.
Kick-start funding is designed for businesses that are interested in piloting a few BEVs or for smaller fleets that want to start their electrification journey. Kick-start funding supports eligible organisations to transition to EVs by providing financial assistance for up to 15 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and smart charging ports in total, across all rounds and allocations of the EV fleets incentive.
Kick start funding is delivered via annual funding allocations. Applications opened on 16 December 2025 and close on 29 May 2026, or earlier if funding is exhausted.
VEHICLE INCENTIVES AVAILABLE
Organisations may apply for kick-start funding multiple times, but only up to a maximum of 15 BEVs and smart chargers combined across all applications and allocations.
A fixed incentive payment is provided to co-fund the purchase costs of the new EVs. The table below includes the incentive applicable under kick-start funding. The department may update the incentive amounts in future allocations.
| Vehicle category | Vehicle incentive |
|---|---|
| Passenger vehicle/SUV (RRP equal or above $40k) | $5,000 |
| Light commercial vehicle under 2.5t GVM | $5,000 |
| Light commercial vehicle from 2.5t and up to 3.5t GVM | $8,000 |
| Heavy commercial vehicles above 3.5t and up to 4.5t GVM | $10,000 |
| Heavy commercial vehicles above 4.5t and up to 8t GVM | $15,000 |
| Heavy commercial vehicles above 8t and up to 15t GVM | $25,000 |
| Heavy commercial vehicles above 15t and up to 23t GVM | $50,000 |

KEY DATES TO KNOW
- Applications opened: 16 December 2025
- Applications close: 29 May 2026 (or earlier if funding is exhausted)
ORDER DATE
Only vehicles ordered on or after the launch of the relevant funding round are eligible. The relevant funding round is the round in which the participant completed their application for an incentive. Funding is only confirmed, once a funding deed has been executed and therefore ordering a vehicle before a deed is executed does not guarantee funding approval.
Vehicles do not need to have been purchased at the time you apply.
While the department does not require purchase orders to be submitted during the assessment stage, it will conduct sample audits of participants to check that vehicles were not ordered before the launch of the relevant funding allocation.
