The NSW Government’s EV Fleets Incentive – Kick-Start Funding is currently available and now includes heavy vehicles. Eligible organisations including councils can access co-funding for up to 15 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and associated smart charging infrastructure.
Using LGP contracts is one of the simplest ways for councils to speed up their transition to electric fleets.
Why LGP Contracts help Councils:
- Compliant, ready-to-use procurement
LGP contracts such as NPN123 (Trucks, Buses, Specialised Trucks, Bodies and Trailers) and LGP321 (Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure) meet NSW Local Government Act requirements, meaning councils don’t need to run their own tenders. All suppliers are pre-qualified and vetted. - Perfect match with EV grant categories
The Kick-Start program funds light, medium and heavy BEVs plus charging ports. LGP contracts already cover these vehicle types and infrastructure services, making council purchases automatically aligned with grant criteria. - Faster procurement to meet deadlines
Funded vehicles must be registered within 100 days, and charging infrastructure must meet strict guidelines. LGP’s prescribed status help councils move quickly, reducing the risk of missing key milestones.
