‘MSWA made a commitment to environmental sustainability.'
Due to its expanding footprint, MSWA made a commitment to gradually converting a portion of its fleet to EVs when it was viable to do so. Charge Up provided the perfect opportunity to start electrifying its fleet, with MSWA successfully applying in rounds 1 and 2 of Charge Up.
‘MSWA found the process of designing a cost-effective project relatively straightforward’.
MSWA’s facilities management team were already familiar with the process of designing and implementing a project enabling them to use existing systems, processes, and staff. As a result, the team found the process relatively straightforward, especially when consulting electrical contractors to help determine the most cost-effective charger(s) and site design, and keeping project records for a smooth acquittal.
'MSWA has successfully installed chargers across five sites, improving processes over time.'
With the support of Charge Up Grants, MSWA has successfully installed one 22kW AC dual port charger at each of five different sites – Albany, Belmont, Bunbury and Wilson. Over time, MSWA has improved processes including implementing a swipe card system so staff could only access the chargers and to track energy use. MSWA has successfully received co-funding in Round 2 of Charge Up to install chargers at more sites to further its fleet transition.
