New EVs in Charles Sturt fleet reserve

The Fleet and Logistics team has introduced four electric vehicles (EVs) in alignment with Charles Sturt University’s strategic objective of ‘Planning for the future’. As the fleet reserve expands to meet travel demand and hire car shortages, more EVs will be added across campuses. Currently, EVs are available in Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Orange and Wagga Wagga for single-day travel between campuses or local events. Fully trained mechanics service these vehicles, and a user manual is provided for staff.

In collaboration with Facilities Management, the team also introduced in-house electric vehicle charging infrastructure at the Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Orange and Wagga Wagga campuses. Initially, the chargers are located within Fleet compounds, but public-facing chargers will be introduced in 2024, beginning with the Bathurst campus.
