            @UFO: Yeah, EVs are only 50-90% less polluting long term, so lets just keep doing what we have always done. Sounds like a good argument :-)

          • @UFO: I wasn't making an argument, simply pointing out a fact (i.e. that electric vehicles are energy agnostic and most electricity in Australia is provided by coal). I already drive an EV FYI.

          • -1

            @UFO: I don't have a problem with that argument, it's just a waste of government money subsidising EVs when the grid is so low on RE The net gain in benefit between dirty grid power and petrol is miniscule, especially if you included manufacturing emissions. If you are in Norway with 90%+ RE, EVs are easy winner. In Australia, diverting money to EVs is diverting money that should have been used for RE generation (so we can be like Norway).

            When you realise most of the people buying these cars would have bought them anyway, the miniscule benefits become non-existent. Giving money to someone who was going to do it anyway it's just a pointless use of taxes, no gain in emissions reductions over doing nothing at all. That money could have been used to create additional emission reductions.

        I doubt it matters much for Tesla buyers but it if sways someone from buying a luxury ICE vehicle it's still better for the environment.

          5K is a lot money for a 60K car, most model 3 buyers would matter

          • @michael128: 5K isn't going to matter if you can't charge an EV. Tesla buyers already knew they could adopt EVs, BMW/Audi owners may start thinking.

            • @FlipCrank: I bought a new car recently, if this model 3 offer came out couple weeks earlier, I would get model 3 instead

        • +10

          A $60K luxury ICE car is still far nicer insider than a no-frills car with simply an ugly-ass giant tablet glued onto the dash, which is essentially what the Model 3 is unfortunately.

          Most of your top selling utes are 60k+ and how many of those are actually used for what they were made for..

          For me that rebate makes a huge difference, it's what I would negotiate out of a normal car or ute at that price point anyway.

          Buy a Hyundai i30, an electric bicycle, user public transport, and donate $3000 to 10 pensioners/low socio-economic households to put 5-6kw solar systems on their houses. You'll produce less emissions than a Tesla, help 10 needy households, and even generate 1700-8000kw/h/Week of green power.

          • -1

            @CJ31: the flaw in your argument is that they aren't Coalition voters.

            If you live in the city, ditch the i30 & use an uber.

          • @CJ31: that's a very good suggestion.

            every efficient car purchase, finances solar systems for low socio-eco households.

          • @CJ31: Yes, possibly for that one Hyundai i30 vs that one Tesla. But we have to move to EV vehicles AND to renewable electricity generation. If we keep buying Hyundai i30 will never cut emissions as much as we need to.

          i like tesla, and its focus, but a tesla car aint gonna last the 25 years a toyota will. If you did a comparision they prob work out the same.

          Still long term its better to invest in battery tech.

              @0jay: agree to disagree, when we are in luxury car price territory it is pointless.It benefits a very small minority that don't need the benefit (and yes I too am in that category)

              • +2

                @gromit: The point is to get those buyers (luxury price or no) to opt for electric over ICE.

                You can disagree with the objective but it has a very clear (and likely effective) purpose.

                • -2

                  @0jay: yes it is effective in the same way as burning stacks of $100 bills will keep a homeless person warm in winter. The money could be far better spent elsewhere.

        Do you still think that only rich people buy EVs?

        The cheapest new EV in Australia at the moment is MG ZS EV at $43k.

        After the rebate and stamp duty discount, it would be about $39k.

        If you consider a typical spend of $2000 a year on petrol, and electricity is about 1/5th the price, the market for this car are the same as people who typically buy a $31k petrol car.

        $31k car + $10000 in electricity over 5 years = $41k
        $39k car + $2000 in electricity over 5 years = $41k

        This doesn't take into account savings past 5 years, or reduced maintenance costs for EVs.

        So far as buyers of new cars go, the market of people spending $31k is pretty huge.

        Now if BYD, who claim to be bringing a $35k 400km range EV soon here soon, manage to do so at the price they claim, that car will be $31k after discounts. When you take fuel cost into consideration (as per example above) you're then matching it up against a $23k petrol car. Doesn't get more mainstream than that.

    • QLD better get their shit sorted and up their incentive to match this. I'm within weeks of placing an order and I won't be happy if they introduce it after I lock mine in

      For a significant number of voters to vote Green (not to get the Greens into power necessarily but to show all politicians we take the environment seriously so other political parties will take the environment seriously.The ACT's initiative for example was the result of the minority Greens pushing for it. Why would ALP change in QLD when they just won a MASSIVE majority. a few months ago ?

      Also need changes to planning laws, to enforce high rise developments residents to insist they have the ability to install charging points for cars in parking spaces and to add Solar to the roof of the building to produce renewable through the day (to run AC units for work from home etc)

      Or we can just wait and wait and wait and then all die :)

      We also need more infrastructure for ebikes and escooters in cities (and to also be able to charge them in said parking spaces), I walk mine upstairs (in the lift) and charge in the apartment, not ideal as a fire risk but there you have it), more cars n the road isn't a solution to traffic problems. I am fighting with my body corporate now, the average age being about 70, to get charging (ebike, escooter and ecar) in the car parking area for cars, well, me and one other person are fighting.

        Oh dear. Vote green? Nope, never ever a good idea. Remember who is to blame for a decade of climate inaction? Yep, the ones that didn’t support the cprs.

      • +1

        Wasting your time battling a body corporate to install ev charging. Who pays for the power? Who pays for the infrastructure required (upgraded power supply to the building assuming it has capacity at a street level…) Then comes the infighting when old mate with the cheap mitsubishi I-MiEV is constantly parked in the charging bay and no-one else can access it.

        It's definitely high but other countries (maybe just US) apply a flat tax (edit: found this article + source). Issue is kind of overblown.

        • +15

          It's more the principal of the matter for a supposedly progressive government who should be supporting EVs.

          But also fuel taxes have traditionally been a federal revenue source, this is a sneaky move by the Victorian government to shift revenue away from federal to state. Regressive and hypocritical for an ALP government, they have already lost a lot of votes from this issue alone.

      • +1

        For one thing the NSW treasurer was considering doing it in the first place but backflipped. It’s also a temporary measure until the market matures, so it will be introduced at some point. But yes it helps with uptake of EVs (although arguably NSW roads needs less cars on them instead of more green cars because congestion is terrible).

      • NSW isn't any better

    It’s still expensive compared to an equivalent ICE sedan without the whizz bang features if you will hardly use them. In reality they are a novelty at present.

      But this isn't a budget car. It is comparable to a Mercedes C class in terms of luxury and features. For that price, I would say it offers way more than a comparable C/3 class.
