SHASA advocates for the electrification of transport and infrastructure to drive a low-carbon economy. Electric transport will significantly reduce emissions, air pollution and noise pollution in the Eurobodalla.
When transport systems are powered using renewable energy sources it can provide a cheap, environmentally sound approach to transporting ourselves as well as transporting goods and services. SHASA seeks to increase awareness of the benefits of electric vehicles (EVs), and advocates for households and businesses to consider an EV in their next vehicle purchase.
SHASA also sees a fast approaching future where electric car battery systems become an integrated part of the grid and are utilised for transport, powering the home and feeding back into the grid according to demand needs.
