Tasmania’s Minister for Growth, Matthew Groom, has said at the Greenhouse 2015 conference in Hobart that the State Government will shortly begin a trial of electric vehicles in the Government fleet.
At least 19 EVs will be added to the government fleet before the end of 2015.
This marks a sharp shift in the attitude of Tasmania’s government towards electric vehicles, and is a positive move towards a more widespread take up of EVs in the Island State.

Has there been any follow up on this? Did they purchase the electric cars and what departments use them? Are they seeing any benefits?

As far as I know it hasn’t eventuated…some government owned businesses such as Tas Networks have a few Leafs and Outlanders, but the government fleet is noticeably absent of them.
