@Vostok providing necessary infrastructure for the common good is not an incentive. It's a government obligation.
How exactly that's financed is a different matter altogether. But don't try and sell me my own investment back for pennies on the dollar.
An incentive as per the dictionary is "a thing that motivates or encourages someone to do something." In car world, that means EVs can replace an ICE at cost parity. Considering EVs still have considerable charging network disadvantages, that means a significant cost benefit for the prospective owner must be apparent. Hence my position: No Rego, No LCT, No Stamp Duty on any EVs until we have at least 50% market share. And most certainly no additional tax.
