That\u2019s exactly what the South Australian Government is signalling today,\u201d Mr Jafari said.\n\n\u201cAn upgraded fast charging network will help give South Australians with the confidence to switch to an electric vehicle. The new normal for electric vehicles is a range of over 500 kilometres on a single charge. So even those living in the third-biggest state in the country can have confidence they\u2019ll always be able to make it from A to B.\n\n\u201cThe plan to transition the entire SA Government Fleet to electric vehicles by 2030 is a vital step. Not only would it shift $80 million in cars and fuel to clean transport power it will also send a powerful signal to the market that a transition is real and appealing.\n\n\u201cTransitioning South Australia\u2019s fleet to electric vehicles will create more peaceful and breathable city air and less carbon emissions. It will also shore up the energy security of the state.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SA Government leads the way with smart electric vehicle investment The South Australian Government\u2019s Electric&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12899,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6916"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13138,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6916\/revisions\/13138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricvehiclecouncil.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
