Why Electric Trucks? Australian Statistics: Transport = 16% of total emissions (85% of that from road transport) 600k trucks (30k new pa) 18m cars (Vic approx. 30% of each) 30 times more cars than trucks Applications more suited Greater noise reduction benefit Source: Truck Industry Council 2 Commercial-In-Confidence
SEA Electric SEA is a Victorian automotive technology company which has developed 100% electric vehicle (EV) drivetrain (known as SEA- DriveTM), for adaptation to a vast range of commercial vehicle donor chassis including SEA s own exclusive vehicle range With an engineering team lead by one of the world s most successful and experienced electric commercial vehicle engineers, our SEA- DriveTM is the most effective and cost efficient electric drive system for commercial vehicles in the world. With lithium ion batteries now below USD300kWh, the commercial vehicle market has no option but to transition to 100% EV SEA s adaptable and proven SEA-DriveTMtechnology enables OEM s to execute an electrification program on any suitable-size platform, with low cost on very short lead times. 3

EV Incentives that Influence 1. Increased allowable GVM to manufacturers rating for EV s E.g. Iveco ACCO built for 25t but restricted to 22.5t 2. Increase car licence range to 6t GVM for EV s - as per New Zealand (from 4.5t GVM) This would drive substantial uptake with Woolworth s/Cole s home delivery vehicles and truck rental market high volume segment 3. Relax noise restrictions on access for commercial EV s 4. Toll reduction or elimination for EV s 5. Access to Bus-Ways and other restricted roads 6. Preferential CBD parking allowances (including fine exemptions) for EV PUD vehicles 8
Other EV Incentives 7. The reduction or elimination of registration costs for EV s 8. Coordination of preferential retail/commercial charging rates for EV users like AGL has introduced Note the SEA-Drive has an on-board 22kW charger, so no additional charging infrastructure is required 9. Similarly, the coordination of preferential retail/commercial insurance options for commercial EV s 10. The elimination of import duties for all components used in the supply of EV technology 11. Targeted rebates for first time buyers of commercial EV s to facilitate the initial uptake 9
