Hitting the road: Committee to hold public hearings for EV inquiry

THE House of Representatives Standing Committee on Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water will be holding public hearings in Sydney on Thursday and Friday for its inquiry into the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).

Chair of the Committee, Tony Zappia MP, said, "The public hearings will be an opportunity to further explore the priorities necessary to support Australia’s transition to EVs.

"The committee is looking forward to hearing from a diverse range of stakeholders who can offer insight into a number of issues, including the manufacturing and charging of EVs, experiences using EV fleets, and opportunities for the safe and equitable uptake of EVs in Australia."

The program for the public hearings is available on the committee’s website.

The committee will be holding further public hearings in Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra in August and September 2024. Further information about the inquiry is available on the committee’s website.
