victoria ev subsidy Page 5

Short answer: Victoria’s $3,000 Zero Emissions Vehicle subsidy ended in 2023 and isn’t currently available. There’s no active state purchase rebate now—just the usual on-road costs and whatever dealer confetti they throw in. On the upside, the state’s separate road‑user charge was struck down by the High Court in 2023, so that particular joy has left the chat. Your best sweeteners are federal: the FBT exemption for eligible EVs under the luxury-car-tax threshold (great for novated leases) and occasional manufacturer bonuses. Keep an eye on the Vic government site in case the policy weather changes—because it does, like Melbourne in April.
