Group gathers for NRMA Electric Vehicle Charger launch in Bega
Crowd gathered for launch of 20th EV charger in Bega

Global car manufacturers have begun phasing out petrol and diesel cars. In a nation like Australia, where we no longer have a car manufacturing industry, we are reliant on importing cars and will need to adapt.

With an electric future looming, the NRMA is committed to making this transition not only smooth, but beneficial for our Members. We are doing this through our ground-breaking policy and research activities, and with our leading investment in electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

It’s not only the right thing, but also the smart thing to do as the cost of transport, fuel, congestion and environmental impacts rise.
