EVC chief executive Behyad Jafari joined the program to discuss a proposal by government to tax electric vehicles. “Victoria simply won’t reach its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 if it taxes electrical vehicles. This is deeply counter-productive and makes very little sense,” Mr Jafari said. “No other nation on Earth has thought it sensible to apply a special new tax to electric vehicles. “It makes no sense to keep burning foreign oil that clogs our air with pollution. Why would we slow the transition to cleaner and healthier air by imposing a new and unnecessary tax?”
