We are lagging behind the world on electric vehicles, and fast becoming an international laughing-stock on climate action. Aussies have led a rooftop solar success story, let's not lose the opportunity to electrify our roads and slash emissions.
Australia is a huge global polluter and transport emissions are rapidly rising – urgent action is needed to get our transport system in the right direction with modern, electric vehicles.
We ask that you support ambitious policies to get more Australians in the driver's seat of an electric vehicle, such as:
- Comprehensive EV strategies, including a target for 100% of new car sales to be electric by 2030
- Deferring road user charges until EV uptake reaches 50%
- Providing upfront subsidies to make the purchase costs of EVs on par with ICE vehicles
- Waiving motor vehicle duty and registration fees
- Investment to fill gaps in public and private charging infrastructure, and supporting homes and businesses to be EV ready
Introducing these policies will help grow a thriving EV industry that benefits everyone, and put Australia on the road to being a world leader in clean transport.
Help clean up our roads and accelerate climate action today. Sign the petition.
