Greens promise higher speed limits for EV drivers

The Australian Greens have announced a bold plan to give electric vehicles a leg-up on the "dinosaurs" in petrol and diesel cars, proposing higher speed limits for EV owners. Announced today, the proposal follows on from the party's planned ban on internal-combustion sales in 2030. Battery-electric vehicles would be allowed to do 130km/h in 80km/h zones, and 150km/h in 100km/h zones.
