A federal government-backed plan proposes charging all Australian households up to $1.44 annually to fund a national electric vehicle charging network rollout, regardless of whether they own an EV.

Proponents argue the nominal fee is necessary to address Australia's inadequate EV charging infrastructure, while critics warn it could create division and lead to future cost increases.
