GOVERNMENT FLEET — ELECTRIC VEHICLES
174. Hon
Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the Minister for Finance:
I refer to the state government's
commitment to achieve a minimum 25 per cent electric vehicle target for
eligible government fleet vehicles by 2025–26 in the state electric
vehicle strategy for Western Australia.
(1) How many and what percentage of
government fleet vehicles are eligible vehicles?
(2) What government fleet vehicles
are not eligible vehicles?
(3) How many and what percentage of
the eligible vehicles are electric vehicles to date?
(4) How many and what percentage of
total fleet vehicles are electric vehicles to date?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) There are 1 871 eligible
vehicles or 21.5 per cent.
(2) A range of
vehicles are excluded, including police vehicles, medium/large passenger
vehicles, large sports utility vehicles, other light commercial vehicles,
including utilities and vans; and any vehicle parked overnight at a private residence, including vehicles administered by the
Salaries and Allowances Tribunal.
(3)–(4) The
state government is expecting delivery of additional electric state fleet
vehicles. Delivery has been impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic and
associated global supply chain issues. If the honourable member wishes to place
the question on notice, additional statistics may be able to be provided.
