Default EV policy by federal government and the states

Hi,
Prime minister Morrison's EV strategy was rather disappointing. Not much details in there. No new emission standards etc, no GST exemption or other incentives to steer the public towards non-ICE vehicles. (other than the charging stations and liquid hydrogen distribution support).

But it was interesting to see individual states adding their policies, such as this one for NSW:

In comparison, in Norway the EVs have been tax free, GST free, free charging many places, free toll roads, and access to bus lanes. Whilst petrol / diesel fuel have been heavily taxed, both at the pumps, and for purchasing the vehicles.

Interesting to see if some of the other states will follow NSW.

Cheers,
