Federal Government slammed for 'misinformation and modelling' in electric vehicle outlook

The Federal Government is facing criticism following a report which claims it allegedly misled the public by stating petrol-electric hybrids are better at cutting emissions than fully-electric cars. Progressive think tank The Australia Institute says the government created questionable modelling to support its position in the February 2021 draft of 'Future Fuels Strategy' discussion paper, claiming electric vehicle (EV) subsidies were poor value-for-money.
