Cockburn's first electric fleet vehicle
The City has purchased its first 100 per cent electric vehicle (EV), to help it maintain its Zero emissions fleet as part of its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Strategy.
The Hyundai Ioniq features zero tailpipe emissions and the City is one of WA’s first local governments to purchase an EV in favour of petrol or diesel models for staff fleet use. The sedan has a 310km range and from a low battery level, takes about four hours to fully charge at the City’s Operations Centre. It can be charged from a low battery in about 30 minutes at one of four public Fast Charge EV stations in Cockburn. The City will also be investing in an electric waste truck this year.
