Less EV Subsidies

In the last 12 months, Australia has seen a growing uptake of electric vehicles. Last year 12% of new cars were fully electric, and 7% were plug-in hybrids. This uptake has led to 0.4% drop in emissions in the transport sector. And while these are pleasing results for improving emission reduction targets, the federal government is now rolling back EV subsidies that have contributed to this uptake. And with a looming fuel shortage on the horizon, making EV’s more accessible feels all the more imperative.
