Transport electrification

Transport electrification

We launched a novel, electric vehicle (EV) research facility (living lab) at RMIT University, one of its kind in the southern hemisphere. The transport electrification teams work on technological and network solutions to support the large-scale integration of EVs into the grid. Our legal, finance and economic teams cover the market and regulatory aspects of the transition.

Projects

Economics of public transport electrification

This project investigated the economic, climate and electricity market implications of public bus fleet electrification based on the Melbourne Metropolitan region.

Regulating public transport electrification

This project aims to assess the suitability of current transport and energy regulatory frameworks for the electrification of public transport.

Supporting the electrification of Victoria’s future fleet

The project established the first Electric Vehicle (EV) living lab in the southern hemisphere. Through applied research projects that test EV technologies, study their technical and legal-economic impact on the electricity grid, prices and broader system, the lab provides a unique capability that supports Victoria and Australia in understanding the complex economic, legal, environmental and engineering aspects of public and private fleet electrification.
