 Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (17:04): (1600) My adjournment is for the Minister for Energy and Resources and Minister for Climate Action. The action I seek is for the minister for energy and climate action to visit the new EV charger installed at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in Albert Park. This EV charger is one of four recently installed in my electorate with Victorian Labor government support. As we strive for a 2030 target of half of all new light vehicle sales to be zero emissions, Victorians need greater access to EV charging. This includes public chargers at destinations and along your journey. Labor knows this, which is why we are getting on with installing EV chargers across the state.

EVs have zero exhaust emissions. This makes them better for the environment and our health than fossil fuel vehicles. The EV chargers in Albert Park are exactly the kind of practical, visible investment that encourages confidence in EVs and removes barriers to uptake. I look forward to having the minister join me to celebrate the delivery of the latest EV charger in the Albert Park electorate.
