Labor policy would give electric vehicles a ‘level playing field’ as fleet cars

Labor’s new electric vehicle policy would deliver big tax breaks to companies with fleets and could deliver significant growth in electric vehicle sales, experts say.

“Electric vehicles cost more to buy and are cheaper to operate so there’s less opportunity to offset costs which makes it more challenging for them to stack up as fleet vehicles. Taking out the fringe benefits tax levels the playing field,” Dr Whitehead said.For example, a $50,000 Nissan Leaf electric vehicle would cost the employer $9000 less under Labor’s policy, according to the Electric Vehicle Council.

But since then the government has found itself wedged between the electric vehicle advocates in its ranks, mostly from progressive urban electorates, and some of its conservative members - particularly among many Nationals MPs who oppose support for clean cars. “We’re not going to tell Australians what kind of car to drive, but we are going to make sure that they are in a position to make those choices and the infrastructure is there to support those choices as they need it,” he said.

Meanwhile the states want to tax EVs to pay for the power they use which is already taxed. It will be the manufacturers that drive the change to EVs not some lame ALP climate crap.

Labor Party ‘repositioning itself’ amid ‘torrid months’ for Coalition: Peta Credlin | Sky News AustraliaThe sooner the Morrison Government is prepared to finally “get into the ring on the big values fight” rather than let the left “radically redefine” our country, the more likely it is to get a fourth term, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“While all eyes lately have been on the government after a particularly torrid couple of months... the Labor Party has been trying to reposition itself as a non-threatening alternative government,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“Instead of higher taxes on things Labor doesn’t like, such as coal; the opposition is now promising lower taxes on things they do like, like electric cars.\n\n“I know supporters of the Coalition won't want to hear this, but having done the job of helping get an Opposition leader elected PM, Labor is doing all the things needed here to make them competitive and looking like a leader, and the tone of what you say - well for some voters that's almost as critical as what the policies might be.”\n\nMs Credlin said the Labor Party is showing it is “determined not to give the Coalition any political ammunition” for the next election.\n\n“And that means the Morrison government will have to win in its own right; not just by campaigning against the alternative,” she said.\n\n“To win they will need to persuade people they’ve done a good job and have a strong forward agenda, rather than just scaring people out of voting for the other side.\n\n“This time it's not going to be as easy.”\n So in other words...Smirko keeps doing what he's doing and hes out on his arse? Good stuff; hes consistent in his ability to do nothing. Yep, quit the pandering to this bullshit Brittney crap, the equality rubbish and the woke banshees.. remember the quiet Aussies are still here and far out number those leftie morons As a compulsive desk wanker and sex pest, I'm definitely voting for the LNP - the only party of big values.
