The Clean Car Discount—as opposed to the Clean Car Standard—was launched in July of this year. This scheme offers major incentives to get drivers behind the wheel of an electric vehicle (EV) or a plug-in electric hybrid. Nearly 2,000 imported new and used EVs and plug-in hybrid EVs were purchased in July alone, so we can see that there is clear demand from the public for affordable EVs. This is the most significant action that our Government has taken to reduce emissions in our light vehicle fleet, and one that is expected to prevent more than 5 million tons of dangerous climate change - causing pollution going into our atmosphere.
