Description

If we’re truly committed to meeting our Paris Agreement commitments and building towards net-zero emissions, we need to transform the way we transport people and goods. There is no time to waste. Unlike the Liberal and Labor parties, whose decade of dysfunctional government has failed to deliver a plan to reduce emissions, we are committed to re-powering our economy through clean energy. We understand that electric vehicles are better for our health, cheaper to refuel and maintain, and emit no pollution when powered by renewable energy. That’s why, under our plan, there will be no petrol or diesel cars sold in Australia after 2030, tougher vehicle pollution standards will be legislated and the cost of electric vehicles will be significantly reduced so more people can buy them sooner.
