Purchasers of new electric vehicles will be able to claim rebates worth $3,000 and refunds on stamp duty retrospectively if legislation underpinning the NSW Government\u2019s $490 million Electric Vehicle Strategy passes in its entirety when NSW Parliament resumes.
\nDue to the current COVID-19 outbreak, NSW Parliament has not been able to sit \u2013 with legislation, including the Electric Vehicles (Revenue Arrangements) Bill 2021, delayed.
\nNSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet, Transport and Roads Minister Andrew Constance, and Energy and Environment Minister Matt Kean, announced the support measures contained in Australia\u2019s most generous EV package will be backdated so long as Parliament passes the legislation.
\n\u201cThe NSW Government remains fully committed to the Electric Vehicle Strategy and delivering on what we promised for this emerging industry,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\n\u201cWe will keep to our September 1 go-live date, however, it is important both the industry and those considering purchasing an EV understand the availability of incentives is contingent on the Electric Vehicles (Revenue Arrangements) Bill 2021 passing Parliament.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s incumbent upon all political parties to get behind this Bill and this industry.\u201d

\n\u201cElectric vehicles are the way of the future and that\u2019s why we need to reduce the barriers and create the right market conditions to ensure we are not left at the back of the starting grid,\u201d Mr Constance said.
\n\u201cThis package not only reduces the costs of purchasing an electric vehicle, but also boosts competition and signals to the market NSW is ready for a greater number of new models.\u201d
\nMr Kean said the NSW EV Strategy is fundamental to NSW achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050.
\n\u201cOur aim remains to increase EV sales to more than 50 per cent of new cars sold in NSW by 2030 and for EVs to be the vast majority of new cars sold in the State by 2035,\u201d Mr Kean said.
\n\u201cFor that reason, we have applied retrospectivity to our policy, to ensure the market is not held up due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d
\nThe Electric Vehicle Strategy will cut taxes, incentivise uptake and reduce barriers for electric vehicle purchases over the next four years.
