You don't see them encouraging their uptake as other countries have done either. In fact they have been actively trying to stop EV's from being sold by campaigning against them with misinformation.

"A report released by the federal government’s Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) has highlighted the absurdity of the Coalition’s anti electric vehicle campaign in the last election, predicting that by 2035 and with no change in government policy, half of all new car sales in Australia will be electric.

The Coalition ran a reckless and ridiculous campaign through the election, demonising Labor’s target of 50% EV sales by 2030, declaring that it would be the end of the weekend, vowing to protect “tradies” and making absurd claims about charging."

Have a read of this to see how negative they are.

“The Government must abandon its Luddite approach to Australia's inevitable transition from ICE Vehicles to EVs. The Government must accept and implement the Committee's, the Chair's and my recommendations as a matter of urgency.”

LOL!! What an arrogant, self serving so-and-so!!

There’s nothing to stop anyone buying an EV.
