AGL submission on Statutory Review of the Electric Car Discount

AGL welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Statutory Review of the Electric Car Discount: Terms of Reference (the Review). As transport now accounts for 12% of Australia’s emissions, this review is timely and pivotal to understanding how Government and industry can best meet a 62-70% emissions reduction below 2005 level by 2035, and Net Zero targets by 2050.

We are committed to policies that help Australia meet its Net Zero targets and accelerate uptake of clean transport technologies. Our insights are informed by direct experience delivering Electric Vehicle (EV) products and services, including the Kerbside Charging Program, the EV NightSaver plan, and our current Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) trial in partnership with major Distribution Network Service Providers, vehicle manufacturers, and charger developers.

AGL supports continuation of the Electric Car Discount which has proved a simple, efficient and highly effective tool to support EV uptake, affordability, and market growth accelerating the shift to low cost and clean electric transport.
