Electric vehicles revolutionise last mile delivery with significant growth expected in Australia as sustainability gains momentum.
The shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) for last mile delivery is accelerating globally, with Australia expected to see significant growth. Companies and retailers are increasingly adopting greener solutions, driven by supporting government initiatives.
Joe Sofra from ANC discussed the current state of the last mile EV market. He noted the global market is valued at around $30 billion and could grow three to four times over the next eight years.
Challenges such as cost and charging infrastructure remain significant. Currently, over 100 EVs are on the road, but sufficient charging stations need to be developed, including home and public options. The unique requirements of commercial vehicles further complicate access to these facilities.
