EV Council Calls for Policy Boost
The Electric Vehicle Council is urging for a bigger policy boost to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles in Australia.
Australians are buying electric vehicles in record numbers, with over 410,000 on the nation's roads, but experts warn that more purchases and policy changes are needed to meet climate targets.
- GST exemptions for electric vehicles
- A ban on new petrol and diesel vehicle registrations within a decade, similar to those in the UK and Europe
The Electric Vehicle Council released its annual report, revealing a 24% rise in electric car purchases and a 20% growth in electric charging infrastructure over the past year.
