Project Description
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has always led the country in terms of social change. Canberra is powered by 100% renewable electricity, however private transport remains a large source of carbon emissions for the territory. Electric vehicles promise increased energy security by reducing foreign fuel dependence, decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, stimulating economic growth through development of new technologies and industries, and public health by improving local air quality. There are substantial technical, social, and economic barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles, including vehicle costs, lower driving ranges, long charging times, and the need for charging infrastructure. The ACT Government has already implemented policies that are aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the ACT with initiatives such as building and maintaining active transport infrastructure and the transit lane privilege initiative. This hack further encourages and empowers citizens to make the switch to zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) and go green by helping the ACT government appropriately plan charging station infrastructure for 2045.
Data Story
Leveraging datasets including from ACT Government and ABS on vehicle registrations, population, transport methods and zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) to understand the current role of ZEVs in the ACT. Harnessing domestic and international reports to gain insights on the required number of charging stations by understanding electric vehicle uptake including barriers in leading markets. Reconciling all data to build a model to help the ACT government predict the number of required charging stations for ZEVs in 2045.
