It’s time for a safe climate, clean air and energy independence. It’s time to Electrify.
THE PROBLEM
Global reliance on fossil fuels is destroying our health, our environment and our climate. We need to urgently switch our homes, businesses and transport off coal, oil and gas and onto renewable electricity – powered by the sun and wind. Transport is one of the biggest sources of climate pollution in Australia – it alone counts for almost one-fifth of our total emissions! – and it’s only growing. The need to electrify our transport system has never been more urgent. It’s time for electric transport: Join the campaign
THE SOLUTION
Polluting petrol cars are choking our cities, hurting our health and fuelling the climate crisis. But it doesn’t have to be this way. More bikes, more walking and better public transport is a critical part of the picture, but we can also help solve our big transport problem with a big transport solution: clean, affordable electric transport for all Australians. Australians are crying out for cleaner electric vehicles but, because big car companies and previous governments have blocked electric cars, Australia is falling behind the rest of the world. It’s time to ensure safer, cleaner and cheaper climate solutions for everyone.
TAKE ACTION
◦ Jump in the driver’s seat and steer our campaign for electric transport
◦ Race to clean car standards: Fuel efficiency standards will cut pollution, and improve accessibility of electric vehicles for all Australians. But Australia is currently at the back of the global queue for cleaner cars. Sign the petition to make electric solutions affordable to all.
◦ Drive political action: Your local MP can steer Australia’s electric transport into the fast lane but they need to know it’s important to you. Do you know your MPs stance on EVs, emissions standards and cutting pollution from our roads? Find out now.
◦ Get Toyota out of the slow lane: Toyota is one of the biggest and most trusted car makers in Australia but they’ve been working around the world to slow the shift to electric vehicles. Will you send Toyota a loud and clear message: stop holding back climate action and get on board with the transition to electric vehicles.
◦ Get Corporate Australia to electrify their fleets! Nearly 4.5 million vehicles on our roads are owned by businesses. Electrifying corporate fleets is a crucial step to speed up our transition to clean electric vehicles. Check out what companies are stuck in the slow lane and send them a message to hurry them up!
