Origin and EVDealer Group have partnered to give Australian businesses a single, end-to-end path to electric vehicles (EVs) – from planning and charging through to vehicle delivery and driver handover – so fleet managers no longer have to coordinate it all themselves.
Origin’s Group Manager Sales, E-mobility, David Helmy, said, “Businesses tell us the hardest part of going electric isn’t choosing a car or the economics, it’s everything around it: strategy and planning, charging, funding, and driver change management.”
“Working with EVDealer Group, we can take the complexity out of switching to EVs, from feasibility assessment to the day the first vehicle is delivered and beyond.”
Battery EVs reached a record 24.9% of new vehicle deliveries in August 2026, but the growth is coming from households, not fleets: deliveries to private buyers rose 7.7% year on year while deliveries to businesses fell 5.8%[1].
For fleet managers, charging, reimbursing drivers for home charging, driver support and dealing with multiple dealerships all add up to extra work and little support.
Under the partnership, fleet managers can now plan, charge and take delivery of their electric fleet through a single coordinated offering available from today.
- Plan (Origin): Feasibility assessments, business cases and access to government incentives and grants.
- Charge (Origin): Charging strategy, deployment and ongoing performance measurement plus a simple way to reimburse drivers for home charging.
- Deliver (EVDealer Group): A single point of contact for nationwide delivery of BYD battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, with handover and training at pickup and no need to deal with individual dealers.
The two businesses have already been working together, with EVDealer Group referring fleet customers to Origin for charging, grants and trial design. The partnership formalises and expands that approach into one offering that provides a single point of fleet management and driver engagement.
EVDealer Group’s General Manager of Fleet, Sean Hogan said, “A fleet manager shouldn’t have to coordinate a dozen dealerships or field every driver’s charging question. We give them one point of contact and one standard of delivery, wherever their vehicles are in Australia.”
With entry-level EVs now within $42 of equivalent petrol models on five-year total cost of ownership according to NRMA’s 2026 Best Value Car Awards[2], the barrier for many fleets is increasingly practical rather than financial.
