I'm also Australian and have ordered an EV a few months ago because of the FBT incentives. You're right that there's an extremely limited selection of vehicles in Australia. Hopefully that changes with the new favourable tax regime.
Can you elaborate on (b)? I hadn't read anything that indicated PHEVs are out of favour, but I haven't paid attention since the initial flurry of news.
- alvah 3y agoSure, it's in https://www.ato.gov.au/law/view/document?docid=AFS/EV-FBT/00001 https://www.ato.gov.au/law/view/document?docid=AFS/EV-FBT/00... "Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles - 1 April 2025 onwards From 1 April 2025, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle will not be considered a zero or low emissions vehicle under FBT law." However, I mis-remembered it - if you buy a PHEV by 1 April 2025 it will remain FBT-free.
- pugz 3y agoThanks! I had somehow missed that. Feels irresponsible that it hadn't been mentioned in reporting of the changes (or maybe I missed it there too)
