NSW's ambitious plans to speed up electric vehicle adoption

NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance has warned Australia will be the “laughing stock of the world” if various state governments push ahead with plans to introduce a tax on electric vehicles (EVs). Instead, Mr Constance proposed a number of incentives to expedite the take-up of electric vehicles in NSW, including subsidised car parking, waving stamp duty and allowing EVs to use transit lanes normally reserved for buses and taxis, according a to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald.
