Greens leader Adam Bandt said the government should exclude plug-in hybrid vehicles from new concessions. | micksfoley auspol

The car industry has objected to the Greens’ demand to cut plug-in hybrid vehicles from the Albanese government’s promised tax breaks for electric vehicles, arguing that any delays due to negotiations over the proposed reform would outweigh any potential benefits that may be achieved.

Weber said his association, which represents vehicle manufacturers and importers, was committed to reaching net zero by 2050 and plug-in hybrid cars could help the Australian automotive industry reach that goal. To be eligible vehicles must cost less than the threshold for the luxury car tax, which is currently $71,849 for most cars but $84,916 for fuel-efficient and zero-emission vehicles.
