Can you get a discount for buying an electric vehicle?
What is the Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy?
Earlier this week the Australian Federal Government unveiled Australia's first ‘Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy' designed to drive consumer choice and the uptake of low-emissions vehicles. At loans.com.au, we offer a 'green’ discount for eligible vehicles to help encourage people to choose an electric or hybrid car for their next purchase.
What is the Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy?
The new Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy aims to reduce the barriers for EV ownership in Australia. It will include funding for 50,000 charging stations in homes Australia-wide.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy delivers on the Government’s recently released Long-Term Emissions Reduction Plan, which provides a view to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
Why is this important?
Electric vehicle legislation in Australia has been slowly catching up to sentiment surrounding EVs.
Recent data has shown Aussies are eager to do their part for the environment when it comes to their next car purchase. According to the Electric Vehicle Council’s recent poll, approximately 54% of respondents would consider purchasing an electric vehicle as their next car and 49% see themselves driving an electric vehicle in 2030.
But many have been deterred by the lack of incentives and affordability of new models.
The new Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy aims to address this.
The response from the industry has been optimistic, however some commentary has suggested there could have been more incentives or subsidies included in the strategy, to make hybrid and electric cars more affordable.
That’s where we come in.
