“#Australian state spends $375M on EV boost to become the Aussie Norway<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A month ago,\u00a0New South Wales (NSW) Transport Minister Andrew Constance had criticized Australia\u2019s slow transition to EVs, emphasizing the need for bigger incentives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s old news<\/a>! Two days ago, the NSW government announced an ambitious $375 million plan for battery-powered cars, the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> reports. The government hopes that with this plan EVs will make up more than half of new car sales by 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, stamp duty will be removed from EVs that cost less than $58,580 by September this year, and a $2,253 rebate will be given to the first 25,000 vehicles sold in New South Wales for under $51,069.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a catch. This extra support will be counterbalanced by a road-user\u00a0charge of $1.9 cents per kilometer\u00a0by 2027, or once electric vehicles make up 30% of new car sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The same road-user charge has been introduced in Victoria and will start the first of July, a fact that was heavily criticized by Constance.<\/p>\n

The minister had commented that the Victorian\u2019s state tax on electric vehicles is happ<\/a>ening \u201ctoo soon,\u201d and that the NSW government\u00a0would not apply such a levy\u00a0<\/span>until EVs make up 40 to 50% of the car market \u2013 which now dropped to 30%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, compared to Victoria, NSW state\u2019s budget is fiver times larger, and the government also\u00a0plans to invest $128 million on highway charging infrastructure. What\u2019s more, new regulations will allow\u00a0EVs to use transit lanes and priority parking spots to recharge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re charging up the nation to make NSW the Norway of Australia when it comes to electric vehicles,\u201d\u00a0Environment Minister Matt Kean said,\u00a0referring to Europe\u2019s largest EV market.<\/span><\/p>\n

This sounds somewhat overconfident, coming from a state that is only now embarking on the EV switch, but NSW\u2019s plan is indeed the most \u201caggressive\u201d yet in Australia. With EVs\u00a0currently making up less than 1% of new car sales in New South Wales, the government\u2019s Electric Vehicle Strategy pack can only be a good thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
