There were just 12 registered electric cars in March 2019 and 38 in December 2020. By the end of last year, there were 61. Out of a total of 143,481 motor vehicles registered at the beginning of 2022, EVs accounted for around 0.04%.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of overall numbers, it&#8217;s hardly exciting &#8211; but the rate of growth has been impressive. No doubt a major concern among NT drivers curious about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/\">switching to electric vehicles<\/a> is &#8220;range anxiety&#8221; given the distances between locations. Northern Territory\u00a0vehicles tend to have the highest average kilometres travelled annually.<\/p>\n<p>But home charging tech is rapidly evolving and public stations are popping up all over the place in the NT. On a related note, if you&#8217;re an EV owner (or potential owner) and want to find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/public\/\">public charging stations<\/a> in the Territory or anywhere else in Australia for that matter, check out this handy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/ev-charger-map\/\">public EV charger location<\/a> tool on SQ that features a searchable map.<\/p>\n<h2>Stamp Duty\/Rego Waived, Charger Grants<\/h2>\n<p>Anyway, the Territory Labor Government wants to move things along on the EV front, as it will assist in hitting NT&#8217;s net-zero emissions by 2050 target. From July 1, 2022, several incentives will be on offer.<\/p>\n<p>The first is waiving payable stamp duty on $50,000 of the purchase price of a plug-in EV from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2027. This will provide a saving of up to $1,500.<\/p>\n<p>The second is 100 residential grants of $1,000 and 80 business grants of $2,500 to go towards the purchase and installation of eligible EV chargers. The grants will be dished out on a first-come, first served basis. A list of eligible devices and further information <a href=\"https:\/\/nt.gov.au\/industry\/business-grants-funding\/electric-vehicle-charger-residential-and-business-grants-scheme\">can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Specifications and estimated pricing of some of the eligible devices can be found on SolarQuotes&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/ev-chargers\/\">EV charger comparison table<\/a>. And you can learn everything you need to know about chargers in SQ founder Finn&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/ev-charging-guide\/\">EV Charging 101 guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another sweetener is the waiving of registration fees for electric vehicles; but Motor Accidents Compensation and third party insurance will still apply &#8211; this will provide an annual $89 saving.<\/p>\n<p>These actions are part of the Northern Territory Electric Vehicle Strategy and Implementation Plan 2021 &#8211; 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/dipl.nt.gov.au\/__data\/assets\/pdf_file\/0007\/1027483\/electric-vehicle-strategy-implementation-plan.PDF\">which can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The creation of this electric vehicle policy supports our Government\u2019s actions on addressing climate risk and to transition to a low-carbon economy,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/createsend.com\/t\/t-F1E3FFD203F462BE2540EF23F30FEDED\">said<\/a> Minister for Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics, Eva Lawler. &#8221; Responding to climate change will not only help us protect our environment, but will support this new industry and the jobs that come with it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Northern Territory isn&#8217;t the only Australian jurisdiction to offer EV-related financial incentives.
