"The Greens are driving the transition from petroleum to
electric vehicles, by providing incentives for Australian
consumers, businesses and government to take up clean
electric vehicle technologies. As a core element of our plan for
a clean transport mix, EVs powered by renewables and battery
storage will form a key part of our pollution-free future."
They go on to state,
" KEY POINTS
The Greens will help to get 31,000 more electric vehicles on the
road by 2021 and 330 more charging stations around the
country by:
Funding free registration for the first five years after
purchase of a fully electric vehicle
Providing $151 million in grants to support local
governments, state governments and car park
operators to install electric vehicle charging
infrastructure
Providing $50 million in grants to support government
and non-government organisations to meet the gap
between the cost on electric vehicle and a conventional
vehicle
Increasing the luxury car tax to 50% for conventional
fossil fuel vehicles over $100,000 to drive consumer
choices towards electric vehicles
Including firms involved in electric vehicle
manufacturing in the government’s Automotive
Transformation Scheme to grow the jobs and skills in
the new electric vehicle industry."
The above reads as if the Greens are in power, whereas the reality is that they will be a bad memory by 2030; also their proofreading leaves a bit to be desired.
