Electric cars should pay their way and sell on merit, not handouts: Kia

Kia Motors Australia – one of the nation’s fastest-growing car brands – says it supports moves to create fairer and more equitable ways to charge road users, whether they are driving an electric vehicle, or one powered by petrol or diesel. The boss of Kia Australia, Damien Meredith, says it’s not fair for owners of petrol and diesel cars to subsidise the rollout of electric cars – and the future tech should sell on its merits rather than being dependent on taxpayer support.
