\"Victoria's<\/p>\n

Victoria’s unpopular EV tax will take a back seat for a bit if the Liberals\/Nationals emerge victorious in next month’s state election.<\/p>\n

A user-pays charge was implemented for Victorian-registered zero and low-emissions vehicles (ZLEVs) by the Andrews Government in July 2021; which at the time was described as the “worst EV policy in the world<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Under the state’s ZLEV Road-User Charge, owners of electric vehicles<\/a> and hydrogen vehicles (HEVs) were initially charged 2.5 cents per kilometre, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) owners 2.0 cents per kilometre travelled. Both charges increased on July 1, 2022 to 2.6 cents per km and 2.1 cents per km respectively. There are some exemptions<\/a> from the ZLEV Road-User Charge.<\/p>\n

Perhaps as a result of backlash against the charge, the Andrews Government introduced a Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) subsidy. The situation had become a case of robbing Peter to pay Peter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given the opposition seen, several other states wanting to introduce an EV tax – Western Australia, New South Wales and South Australia – decided it wasn’t the right time and are deferring it to 20271<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n

And that’s what Victorian Liberal Leader Matt Guy has pledged<\/a>, announcing yesterday afternoon that under a Liberal\/Nationals government the <\/span>ZLEV Road-User Charge will be paused until 2027. Additionally, 600 new EV charging stations<\/a> will be established across the state as part of the Coalition’s long-term economic plan for Victoria.<\/p>\n

The cost of pausing the EV tax is reportedly $82.2 million (which seems rather high) and for the EV charging station rollout, $50 million.<\/p>\n

Labor’s “Back To The Future” Energy Policy Panned<\/h2>\n

On a related note, the Andrews Government’s announcement<\/a> last week it would end reliance on privatised coal and transition Victoria to renewable electricity by 2035\u00a0 is proving to be a hard act to follow. Labor intends reviving the State Electricity Commission (SEC) to build new renewable energy projects.<\/p>\n

“Renewable energy is the future: it\u2019s good for our climate, good for lower power bills and good for jobs,” said Premier Andrews. \u201cLabor is doing what matters. We\u2019ll bring power back into the hands of Victorians by creating government-owned energy \u2013 keeping bills down and the lights on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But the VIC Libs seized on comments<\/a> from some corners criticising Dan’s plan; and have labeled it a “back to the future energy policy”.<\/p>\n

“In contrast, the Liberals and Nationals have a practical and achievable energy plan which will deliver reliable, affordable and increasingly cleaner energy, while keeping the lights on and putting downward pressure on prices.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The details of that plan can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s 31 days until the Victorian election and pledges to punters are still being made. As election day draws closer, we’ll post of a summary of what Labor, the Liberals\/Nationals and the Greens are committing to in terms of renewable energy and electric vehicles here on SolarQuotes.
