Two “social leasing” programs for zero-emission vehicles that actually work
Government support can help lower monthly leasing fees and make EVs more accessible for those who may not otherwise be able to afford them. Here are two examples.
Australian uptake of EV and plug in hyrbids could stall without tax breaks
Australia risks stalling efforts to cut transport emissions if it does not reintroduce tax breaks and incentives for the purchase of electric and hybrid vehicles.

In mid and high price categories, EVs are already often cheaper than comparable combustion models. Any support should be focused on smaller cars and low-income households.
EV offerings to grow, prices to fall as efficiency standards locked in place
Electric vehicles are expected to grow in number and fall in price following federal election as manufacturers gain confidence that regulations on low-emission transport will not change.
Halving fuel excise will save $312, but an EV could save $27,000. You choose
Think beyond the pump. The election choice isn’t just about a temporary 25-cent discount on fuel excise. It’s about whether you want to pocket $312 or unlock tens of thousands in savings with an EV.
