The transport sector is Australia's third largest source of carbon emissions.
Petrol vehicles produce significant pollution and we need to electrify our transport system as soon as possible.
Yet the South Australian and Victorian governments have announced a new tax on electric vehicles and the NSW government may follow suit next year.
This great big new tax on not polluting will increase emissions and strangle the electric vehicle market in Australia before it's established.
Australia Institute research shows most Australians want the State and Federal Governments to remove barriers to electric vehicle ownership, not impose new ones.
It makes no sense.
Tell the state governments of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales to dump the electric vehicle tax

The proposed new tax on electric vehicles will increase costs and emissions while failing to raise significant revenue.
All a new tax will do is strangle the electric vehicle market before it's had a chance to start.
Australia need more electric vehicles on the road, not less.
