victorian ev subsidy

Short version: Victoria no longer offers a state EV purchase rebate—the Zero Emissions Vehicle subsidy was axed in 2023.

So if you’re buying now, there’s no Victorian cash handout; instead look to federal incentives like the FBT exemption for eligible EVs on novated leases under the luxury-car tax fuel-efficient threshold.

The much-maligned per‑kilometre EV road‑user charge was struck down by the High Court in 2023, so that’s off the table too.

Practical tip: shop the drive-away price, charger inclusion, and warranty, then let the running-cost savings do the quiet bragging over time.

For the latest fine print, check official Victorian and federal sources—governments love changing the rules right after you’ve memorised them.
