How it started

Susie Page

Founder & Director

electric-switch was founded by Susie Page after 17+ years working at the intersection of transport, infrastructure, and climate policy across the UK and Australia. Her career spans the design and construction of large-scale transport infrastructure in the UK, through to transport decarbonisation and climate policy in Australia — working across industry, government, and consulting.

That experience gave Susie a clear-eyed view of who was being left behind. Light commercial and heavy vehicles account for 40% of Australia's transport emissions — yet the vast majority of fleet owners are small businesses, most running a single vehicle. They have the most to gain from the clean energy transition, and the least time to navigate the grants, finance structures, and technology options designed to help them.

electric-switch was built to close that gap. With support from experts in data science and finance, and industry partners across Australia in clean energy technology, Susie and her team make the transition simple, practical, and completely free for small and medium business owners.
