Ahead of the NSW state budget announcement on Tuesday, reports revealed Treasurer Daniel Mookhey is set to terminate the current $3,000 incentive for drivers who buy new electric vehicles and funnel the savings into building more base infrastructure.
"The NSW incentives, combined with more affordable EV imports, were just starting to drive significant uptake in Sydney's west and the state's regions,” EVC chief executive Behyad Jafari said in a statement. "Fewer EVs means dirtier Sydney air, continued reliance on foreign oil imports, higher carbon emissions, and more budget pressure on everyday households. It's foolish, short-sighted policy from a government that people would have expected more from."

For NSW, since the rebates were launched, sales rose by 450 per cent and the most popular EV models fell in price by $8,000.
