CERES is being funded by CORONA to purchase 2 Ford eTransit vans and charging infrastructure to enable carbon free food deliveries.
CERES Fair Food wanted to provide carbon-free food deliveries. It had two problems — how to get the most use out of its excess solar output from panels on the warehouse roof and what to do about replacing its two aging delivery vans? Thankfully,stepped forward and lent CERES Fair Food the money to purchase two Ford eTransit vans and install Zappi solar smart chargers to run them.
By the middle of 2022, Fair Food will take delivery of two Ford E-Transit delivery vans, 2 smart solar chargers, and a charger hub. At that time, CORENA will give the org an interest-free loan of approximately $75,000 to help cover the vehicle and charging infrastructure costs. The rest of the funds are coming from a grant. Theare the first of that type of small delivery van to be available here in Australia as an EV. Refrigeration equipment will then be added to both vans.
The EVs will be replacing two Toyota LWB Hiace refrigerated vans whose annual running costs are over $17,000 together. Two EV vans will cost approximately $2,000 per year in electricity to run. Accordingly, the $50,000 extra cost involved in purchasing these two electric delivery vans rather than diesel alternatives, plus around $5,000 for the two Zappi chargers, will be repaid via reduced running costs in about 4 years.
